Hilda And Pearl
“Only Margaret Atwood (in Cat’s Eye) has written as knowingly about the friendship between women. Emotionally wrenching, beautifully realized work.”
—New York Times “This excellent novel weaves the story of a 1921 trolley strike.... Mattison is concerned with the small decisions and coincidences that alter the course of our lives. Are they accidents, or impulses born of something deeper? Mattison’s observations are so minutely compelling that each feels like a shiny object, once lost but found u...nexpectedly.”
—The New Yorker “Extraordinary.”
—Washington Post Book World PRAISE FOR Men Giving Money, Women Yelling “Alice Mattison is a charmer. She’s one of those uncommon writers who are genuinely tickled by the ids and egos they commit to paper, and her characters bask—rather than squint—in the sunshine of her affectionate scrutiny. Men Giving Money, Women Yelling (is there an award for book title of the season?)is Mattison’s third collection of short fiction, and it’s crammed with characters—teachers, lawyers, social workers—who pop cleanly, if a bit frantically, off the page.”MoreLess
