In this episode, we discuss “Goodbye and Good Luck” by Grace Paley.  How can a strong character voice drive a story even without a complex plot?  Can a character sketch or portrait of an attitude be a complete and fulfilling story?  How can we inform the first person narration by considering the occasion of the telling?  Why is such a simple, happy story so good?
