Die kleinen Widrigkeiten des Lebens: Storys (German Edition)
(Als reinen Glücksfall bezeichnete Grace Paley das Erschei...)
Als reinen Glücksfall bezeichnete Grace Paley das Erscheinen ihres ersten Erzählungsbands DIE KLEINEN WIDRIGKEITEN DES LEBENS im Jahr 1959. Bis zum Beginn der amerikanischen Frauen-, Friedens- und Bürgerrechtsbewegung hatte die selbstbewusste New Yorker Hausfrau und Mutter ausschließlich Gedichte geschrieben. Aber dann habe sie ihr Gehör für die Geschichten ihrer Mitmenschen entdeckt, beschrieb Paley den Wechsel zu dem Genre, für das sie berühmt wurde. Diese Erfahrungen gibt sie mit ihrem ganz eigenen, von der Sprache der jüdisch-osteuropäischen Einwanderer gefärbten Ton wieder: im Sound ihrer Generation, in schlagfertigen Wortwechseln und Szenen urbanen Lebens. »Grace Paley gehört zu einer seltenen Gattung von Schriftstellern mit einer Stimme, wie niemand sonst sie hat: komisch, traurig, bescheiden, energisch, genau«, schwärmte Susan Sontag. Die Neuübersetzung der Erzählungen erschließt erstmals Paleys lakonische Genauigkeit, ihren eigenwilligen Witz und ihren ironisch unbekümmerten Blick auf die absurden Wendungen des Alltags: »Einmal hat mir mein Mann zu Weihnachten einen Besen geschenkt. Das war nicht recht. Niemand kann mir erzählen, er hätte es nett gemeint.«

This reissue of Grace Paley's classic collection--a finalist for the National Book Award--demonstrates her rich use of language as well as her extraordinary insight into and compassion for her characters, moving from the hilarious to the tragic and back again. Whether writing about the love (and conflict) between parents and children or between husband and wife, or about the struggles of aging single mothers or disheartened political organizers to make sense of the world, she brings the same unerring ear for the rhythm of life as it is actually lived. The Collected Stories is a 1994 National Book Award Finalist for Fiction.

(Publication Date: September 1, 1985 In this collection of...)
Publication Date: September 1, 1985 In this collection of short stories, originally published in 1974, Grace Paley "makes the novel as a form seem virtually redundant" (Angela Carter, London Review of Books). Her stories here capture "the itch of the city, love between parents and children" and "the cutting edge of combat" (Lis Harris, The New York Times Book Review). In this collection of seventeen stories, she creates a "solid and vital fictional world, cross-referenced and dense with life" (Walter Clemons, Newsweek). Review "Grace Paley makes me weep and laugh-and admire. She is that rare kind of writer, a natural, with a voice like no one else's: funny, sad, lean, modest, energetic, acute."-Susan Sontag "Grace Paley is a wonderful writer and troublemaker. We are fortunate to have her in our country."-Donald Barthelme "I can't think of another writer who captures the itch of the city, love between parents and children, or the cutting edge of combat, as well."-Lis Harris, The New York Times Book Review "Technically, Grace Paley's work makes the novel as a form seem virtually redundant. Each one of her stories has more abundant inner life than most other people's novels . . . Her prose presents a series of miracles of poetic compression."-Angela Carter, London Review of Books "A solid and vital fictional world, cross-referenced and dense with life."-Walter Clemons, Newsweek About the Author Grace Paley remains one of America's most revered short story writers. Born in the Bronx, New York, in 1922, Paley established a reputation as a bard of Jewish New York with highly acclaimed collections like "The Little Disturbances of Man" (1959), "Enormous Changes at the Last Minute" (1974), and "Later the Same Day" (1985). Her most recent work, "The Collected Stories," was published in 1994 by Farrar, Straus and Giroux.

This first collaboration of two long-time feminist and antiwar activists is a wonderful melding of word and image that creates a powerful call for world peace. Paley's poems and short fiction and William's vivid watercolors depict the beauty and dignity of "ordinary" lives from El Salvador to the Bronx, from New Hampshire to Vietnam. Scenes and stories of domestic life, solitude, and nature are interspersed with heart-wrenching images of women widowed and children crippled by war and incarcerated by urban poverty, Here, too, are stories and paintings of protest, joyous and defiant.
