Summary: Later the Same Day...a permanent resident of my headboard
Comment: I have a friend who is so well read that she refuses to discuss books with anyone else for fear they may "contaminate" her.
Although I think that I have great taste in the printed word, I seldom mention anything I have read to her for fear she will think me common.
When I read this book, I called her up and told her she must read it immediately.
I have read a book a day or so since I was six. I am now a women of a certain age. About once every three years, I read the first page of a book and feel lightening strike my brain. That happened with "Later the Same Day".
I now read and read again every book by Grace Paley, seeing my life in the lives of women who were wives/daughters/mothers/lovers/writers 50 years ago. (Is it that long?)
The difficulties of combining motherhood, marriage, extended family, creative fullfillment, community activism and friendship are explored in painful detail in these stories, and ring true to the lives of all the women I know in the year 2000.
Give this book to women in their 20s, 30s, and 40s, and ask them when it was written, and they will all say "this year".
Give a copy to all your literate friends, both male and female, and keep a copy in your own headboard or bedside table, for those lonely nights when you want to know you are not alone in the struggle to be a complete person.
