Her highly acclaimed collections of stories include "The Little Disturbances of Man" (1959), "Enormous Changes at the Last Minute" (1974), "Later the Same Day" (1985), and "The Collected Stories" (1994), which won the National Book Award. She is also the author of two books of poetry, "Leaning Forward "(1985) and "Begin Again"(1992), and one collection of poems and prose pieces, "Long Walks" and "Intimate Talks" (1991). She has taught at Sarah Lawrence, Columbia, Dartmouth, and City College, and is a popular lecturer and workshop leader at colleges and universities.
