About
In Enormous Changes at the Last Minute, 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).

"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
