About This Item
PM Press, 2014-04-01. Hardcover. New. Hardcover with Dust Jacket. Brand New; satisfaction guaranteed. Marge Piercy?s debut collection of short stories, The Cost of Lunch, Etc., brings us glimpses into the lives of everyday women moving through and making sense of their daily internal and external worlds. Keeping to the engaging, accessible language of Piercy?s novels, the collection spans decades of her writing along with a range of locations, ages, and emotional states of her protagonists. From the first-person account of hoarding (?Saving Mother from Herself?) to a girl?s narrative of sexual and spiritual discovery (?Going over Jordan?) to a recount of a past love affair (?The Easy Arrangement?) each story is a tangible, vivid snapshot in a varied and subtly curated gallery of work. Whether grappling with death, familial relationships, friendship, sex, illness, or religion, Piercy?s writing is as passionate, lucid, insightful, and thoughtfully alive as ever.
