About the Work
"Dorothy
Parker
once
said
of
Hemingway
that
he
'avoids
New
York,
for
he
has
the
most
valuable
asset
an
artist
can
possess
-
the
fear
of
what
he
knows
is
bad
for
him'.
Throughout
her
life
Paul
occupied
geographic
margins,
places
the
occasion
for
undistracted
work,
but
places
redeemed
by
inclusion
in
her
work.
At
a
time
when
proponents
of
an
internationalism
scorned
any
perceived
regionalism,
Paul
simply
by-passed
the
supposed
debate
by
fathoming
the
barely
noticeable
local."
