Keeping to the engaging, accessible language of Piercy's novels, the collection spans decades of her writing along with a range of locations, ages, and emotional states of her protagonists. From the first-person account of hoarding (\"Saving Mother from Herself\") to a girl's narrative of sexual and spiritual discovery (\"Going over Jordan\") to a recount of a past love affair (\"The Easy Arrangement\") each story is a tangible, vivid snapshot in a varied and subtly curated gallery of work. Whether grappling with death, familial relationships, friendship, sex, illness, or religion, Piercy's writing is as passionate, lucid, insightful, and thoughtfully alive as ever.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e PM Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/01\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781604864960\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 176\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.30h x 5.60w x 1.00d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/19\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2014 pg. 26\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Marge Piercy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44507354726581,"sku":"9781604864960","price":18.66,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_ba3c153e-cdb9-488a-a4d5-94958c1d7781.jpg?v=1722311917","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/cost-of-lunch-etc-9781604864960","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
