teeming,
tumbling lile..'.
" The story of a young , persistently hopeful migrant
family in the early nineteen-thirties .. .The strength
of Mrs. Olsen 's writing is remarkable ."
- The New Yorker
"This novel is a classic."
-San Francisco Examiner
"Of major living American writers,
Tillie Olsen is the least prolific . . , Her only pre–
viously published fiction, Tell Me a Riddle, amazes
all those who pick it up by the emotional power that
emerges from her serenely perfect prose, . .
YONNONDIO, whose language is often achingly
beautiful , is an elegy that acts on the reader
indirectly by its emotional suggestiveness " ,"
