My mom give me Tell Me a Riddle a few years ago and now I'm in highschool and considering choosing this as an independent reading book for school. I don't want to read too far above or below what's just challenging enough for me.
It's difficult to say because I don't know you. Do you like short stories and social justice issues? Tell Me a Riddle is a collection of four short stories written by Tillie Olsen, and first published in 1961. The four short stories, "I Stand Here Ironing," "Hey Sailor, What Ship?," "O Yes," and "Tell Me a Riddle," touch on issues of individuality, conformity, social pressures, stratification, feminism, motherhood, authorship, and racism.
