Praise for this book
What makes News from the World more than the sum of its parts is Fox s voice: astringent (but never cold), unsentimental (but never pitiless), exasperated (but never angry). --David Leavitt"
Paula Fox is one of our greatest writers. Her prose is a model of ruthless, gorgeous efficiency and her mind is so unnervingly alert to the messy contradictions that come with being human. These essays and stories will delight and inspire anyone who cares about literature, storytelling, and truth itself.--Tom Bissell, author of Extra Lives
Paula Fox's essays and short stories all display a spare, marvelous luminosity. The author's irreducible voice it was the same with Virginia Woolf can always be heard, whatever the genre.--Thomas Mallon, author of Fellow Travelers
Fox s style isjagged, elliptical at times and even rough. In fact it has a uniqueexpressiveness; an industrial, not a jeweler s diamond, and used for cutting, not display. --Richard Eder
The unfettered voicefound in Fox s wide-ranging personal essays [lingers] in the memory. --Megan O'Grady
Leaves the readerwith a bolstering sense of having been enriched by a view of the world at oncerigorously thoughtful and deeply felt.
