NPR's Selected Shorts featured two Grace Paley stories last weekend. Neither are from January's book, The Little Disturbances of Man, but they're pretty emblematic of the sort of writing that Paley is know for--funny, slightly sad, and very wise.The stories are "The Long-Distance Runner" and "A Conversation with My Father." You can find information about the show here, and listen to the stories by subscribing to the podcast.

I started the book last night, and from the two stories I've read before, it really seems that we're missing out by not hearing them read alound (and this isn't even me trying to slyly introduce audiobooks to the conversation!) I so look forward to listening to these recordings after I finish the book. Maybe we should ask everyone to read aloud their favorite bit of the book at our meeting.
