Summary
Audible is proud to present the first-ever audiobook recording of Tillie Olsen's legendary short stories, included "Tell Me a Riddle", and "I Stand Here Ironing"—works that transformed women's self-reflection and literature forever.
Special Feature: A special 1963 archival recording of author Tillie Olsen reading excerpts from "Tell Me a Riddle", for the US Library of Congress, follows the full narration by actor Isabel Keating.
Tillie Olsen's work, since the 1930s, spoke to the hard truths of motherhood and marriage, domestic life, and labor. Her political conviction and poetic intensity brought a depth to an influence that continues to be felt today.
Introduction by Olsen’s granddaughter, Rebekah Edwards. Foreword and biographical notes by Olsen's daughter, Laurie Olsen.
