    The 39th Annual Jewish Book & Arts Fair  presents Films at the Fair.

    Sunday, October 30 at 2pm
    Grace Paley: Collected Shorts
    Directed by Lilly Rivlin • USA, 2010, 74 minutes • Documentary

    An inspiring documentary portrait of the Jewish writer and political activist who established her reputation in the 1950s with brilliantly funny and frank tales of Jewish American urban women. Born Grace Goodside in the Bronx, New York, her parents, Russian-Jewish immigrants, had an important influence on her life.

    The film mixes candid recollections and passionate readings by Paley with fond remembrances by literary critics, family, and writer-friends Allan Gurganas and Alice Walker into a uniquely insightful account of a brilliant woman who constantly reinvented her life and art.

    –San Francisco Jewish Film Festival
