Our reading will be Tillie Olsen’s Tell Me a Riddle (1961), which contains three short stories—”I Stand Here Ironing,” “Hey Sailor, What Ship?,” and “O Yes”—and a novella that furnishes the title of the small collection. While we’ll look at each of the stories, our focus will be on the novella. Tell Me a Riddle is available in a paperback version. It’s also available in pdf versions; a particularly good one is at UNL Digital Commons.
