The article focuses on an author Tillie Olsen. The author of a small but powerful body of work, Tillie Olsen is best known today for "Tell Me a Riddle" (1962), a volume of short stories, which won the O. Henry Award for best American short story. Her short fiction is highly regarded for its consummate craft and transformative vision. Olsen's ability to recall and inscribe the different rhythms of language, the cadences of black sermons, the multiethnic exchanges of factory workers, the inflections of Yiddish-influenced English — make her prose a rich evocation of multicultural America. Her writing voices the angers, the longings, and the hopes of working men, women, and children. An example of this is her story "I Stand Here Ironing." |
