Ample Grace in EvidenceWe lost a great woman yesterday, Jewcers. One of the most profoundly gifted literary voices of the last century, not to mention a truly wonderful human being. Anyone who was ever in the same room with Ms. Paley can surely attest to her warmth, generosity, and enormity of spirit.
The best way to honor her memory is to read her. So read her, why dont you?

Grace Paley, z"l
Wow. I'm shocked. I sort of thought she'd live forever. A great writer and a better person. She is already missed.

We'll miss her
Gace Paley, Cynthia Ozick, Nadine Gordimer - what a great foundation they've provided, not just for Jewish women writers, but for anyone who loves discovering a perfectly crafted sentence.
