The Little Disturbances of Man

by Grace Paley

The Little Disturbances of Man Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

With a sure and humorous touch, Grace Paley explores the "little disturbances" that lie behind our everyday lives. Whether writing about sexy little girls, loving and bickering couples, angry suburbanites, frustrated job-seekers, or Jewish children performing a Christmas play, she captures the loneliness, poignancy, and humor of human experience with matchless style.
