Influences, Interests and Interesting Tidbits: "I met her [Grace Paley] for the first time last year, and I wanted to tell her how important she was to me, but I couldn't; I was too embarassed. . . Before I read her, I thought I didn't have anything to write about. I was a young woman; I had never been to war. Reading Grace Paley changed things a lot. I began to write."
Alice Hoffman, as quoted by Ruth Reichl, New York Times,February 10, 1994
Making the mundane magical, that's what appeals to me.
-Alice Hoffman, People, September 12, 1988
I have magical thinking. Like a kid. When I'm with my little kid in a store, he'll say, "The ceiling is talking to me," and I'll realize that it's the loudspeaker. It's like the world is very magical, and the things that happen happen for magical reasons.
-Alice Hoffman, as quoted by Ruth Reichl, New York Times, February 10, 1994
