Media Reviews
"The stories in BAGOMBO SNUFF BOX are filled with misunderstandings, odd and humorous twists, and surprise endings that sometimes make you wince as much as smile....Besides humor and irony, there is sadness and tragedy and poignancy here. There are people whose lives have just not gone the way they thought they would....Little of the reader's time is wasted with BAGOMBO SNUFF BOX." -- Ron Silverman
-- Chicago Tribune Books
"[T]hese newly unearthed stories run the gamut from simply entertaining to brilliant. They are the products of an earlier age, a time capsule from an era before computers, before postmodernism and irony....The emotionality of this early Vonnegut, the succinct presentation of his characters and themes, is both a surprise and a delight." -- Noah Hawley
-- San Francisco Chronicle Book Review

The Collected Stories
by Grace Paley
At long last, here are all of Grace Paley's classic stories collected in one volume. From her first book, The Little Disturbances of Man, published in 1959, to Enormous Changes at the Last Minute (1974) and Later the Same Day (1985), Grace Paley's quirky, boisterous characters and rich use of language have won her readers' hearts and secured her place as one of America's most accomplished writers. Grace Paley's stories are united by her signature interweaving of personal and political truths, by her extraordinary capacity for empathy, and by her pointed, funny depiction a the small and large events that make up city life. As her work progresses, we encounter many of the same characters and revisit the same sites, bearing witness to a community as it develops and matures, becoming part ourselves of a dense and vital world that is singular yet achingly familiar.
