At the Gates of the Animal Kingdom (Contemporary American Fiction)
Amy Hempel
Penguin (Non-Classics)
, 1991
she's beyond words really.
Never reading Hempel is like dying a virgin. The expectations cast by the stories in "Reasons to Live" would be impossible for most writers to overcome, but somehow she does it, without missing a beat. If i could give more stars i would. My favourite stories from this ...
The Collected Stories of Amy Hempel
Amy Hempel
Scribner
, 2007
FALLING DOWN THE CLIFF
Life is a runaway. The word is driving west on the Highway One, and the meaning fill all the lanes. No matter where you stand (leftside, righside, in the middle of the road) you will be run over. Crash Amy Hempel and fall down the cliff. Down into the honesty ocean. ...

Elyn Zimmerman
Gagosian Gallery
, 2002
In the fall of 2000, Elyn Zimmerman was a Visiting Artist-in-Residence at an artist's colony in Vermont. While there, she took a group of photographs which recorded the passage of water through a nearby shallow stream bed. The rocks and pebbles underneath the water's surface, together with the play of light and shadow overhead, broke the surface ...
Reasons to Live
Amy Hempel
Harper Perennial
, 1995
Queen of the short story
Thank goodness for Amy Hempel, egging on those of us who write short stories by constantly keeping her breathtaking prose to under fifty pages. I had a writing teacher who warned us against trying to write after reading Amy, because we would feel compelled to try to ...
Pit Bull: Lessons from Wall Street's Champion Trader
Martin Schwartz
, Amy Hempel
Collins
, 1998
One of the best books by far
I was amazed at this guy. A lot of the practices he used then works now. Buzzy should be commended for putting his life story in such a vivid tale of success and almost death. I am thankful to have read this book. It has opened me up to another way of thinking and also ...

Tumble Home: A Novella and Short Stories
Amy Hempel
Scribner
, 1998
Don't let the shortness and simplicity fool you...
...this is an amazing piece of work. I loved reading Tumble Home. This short-story collection is brief (only 160 pages long) and the stories are deceptively simple. But each story holds profound messages centered on family life and other every day events that may seem ...
The Dog of the Marriage: Stories
Amy Hempel
Scribner
, 2005
Intense and without equal
There are many people who try to imitate Hempel's style, but in the end no one can touch the true depth of the original. The density of her work, where almost every sentence (nay, maybe even every syllable) contains every level of storytelling thin and superficial ...
Unleashed: Poems by Writers' Dogs
Three Rivers Press
, 1999
This is poetry pure and simple.
I fell in love with this book from the moment I read the first dog, er ... poet. I have raved about this collection ever since. What can I say? Even cat-people love it. It's true! I'm not lying! Really! A young school-teacher friend of mine has decided to use ...
