A Pair of Paleys
"'Please write a simple story...Just recognizable people and then write down what happened to them next’; I would like to try to tell such a story, if he means the kind that begins: "There was a woman ... " followed by a plot, the absolute line between two points which I've always despised. Not for literary reasons, but because it takes all hope away. Everyone, real or invented, deserves the open destiny of life.” – Grace Paley, “A Conversation with my Father.”
A quirky odyssey, and memories of a father, by the late, great, Grace Paley.
