Tell Me a Riddle, Requa I, and Other Works by Tillie Olsen
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. Collected here for the first time are several of Olsen's nonfiction pieces about the 1930s, early journalism pieces, and short fiction.
"An excellent volume that will appeal to anyone interested in women's studies, social justice, journalism, and American short stories and fiction"—Erica Swenson, Library Journal |""Even a century later, Olsen's writing is brilliantly measured and rich in character—a blend that few writers achieve. Coupled with essays by her daughters and granddaughter, Olsen's newest collection is a must-have for any reader.""—Portland Book Review
