News from the World by Paula Fox
This gathering of Paula Fox’s short work spans her illustrious career, from 1965 to the present including perfectly turned stories; pointed, engaging essays; and raw yet eloquent memoir.
"The unfettered voice found in Fox's wide-ranging personal essays [lingers] in the memory" -- Megan O'Grady "Fox's style is jagged, elliptical at times and even rough. In fact it has a unique expressiveness; an industrial, not a jeweler's diamond, and used for cutting, not display." -- Richard Eder "Leaves the reader with a bolstering sense of having been enriched by a view of the world at once rigorously thoughtful and deeply felt." "What makes News from the World more than the sum of its parts is Fox's voice: astringent (but never cold), unsentimental (but never pitiless), exasperated (but never angry)." -- David Leavitt
Paula Fox (1923—2017) was the author of Desperate Characters, The Widow’s Children, A Servant’s Tale, The God of Nightmares, Poor George, The Western Coast, and Borrowed Finery: A Memoir, among other books.
