Inhaltsangabe

Olsen, Tillie. Tell Me A Riddle. New York, Laurel Edition / Dell Publishing, 1976. 11 x 18cm. 125 pages. Original softcover. Very good condition with only minor signs of external wear. From the library of swiss - american - irish poet Chuck Kruger. [A Seymour Lawrence Book]. A century after her birth, Tillie Olsen’s writing is as relevant as when it first appeared; indeed, the clarity and passion of her vision and style have, if anything, become even more striking over time. This volume includes the four beautifully crafted, highly celebrated stories originally published as Tell Me a Riddle: “I Stand Here Ironing,” “Hey Sailor, What Ship?,” “O Yes,” and “Tell Me a Riddle.” The title story won the O. Henry Award. In these stories, as in all of her work, Olsen set a new standard for the treatment of women and the poor and for the depiction of their lives and circumstances. In her hands, the hard truths about motherhood and marriage, domestic life, labor, and political conviction found expression in language of such poetic intensity and depth that their influence continues to be felt today.
