I have been out of touch. I missed the NYT article on Paley’s death & I so rarely manage to read blogs … Grace’s ability to capture an entire life time of experience in one (very) short story was amazing! I have shared her story “Wants” with several people; after you read it, what more is there to say? It’s just all there — our human limitations, the reach and limits of human ambitions to be “better” (to turn in library books on time). I never met her, but I will miss her. I will miss knowing that she’s in the world.
