Amy Hempel is a master of the short story. This celebrated volume
gathers together her complete work -- four short collections of
stunning stories about marriages, minor disasters, and moments of
revelation.
With her inimitable compassion and wit, Hempel introduces
characters who make choices that seem inevitable, and whose
longings and misgivings evoke eternal human experience.
For readers who have known Hempel's work for decades and for
those who are just discovering her, this indispensable volume
contains all the stories in "Reasons to Live," "At the Gates of the
Animal Kingdom," "Tumble Home," and "The Dog of the Marriage." No
reader of great writing should be without it.
