FACT/FICTION CONVERSATIONS
FACT/FICTION CONVERSATIONS Grace Paley: Open Destiny of Life

"I wanted to talk to the world, I wanted to address the world, so to speak. But writing stories, I wanted to get the world to explain itself to me, to speak to me. And for me that was the essential difference between writing poetry and stories, and it still is, in many ways. So I had to get that world to talk to me."
Grace Paley: Open Destiny of Life
