Reply All, the third collection of award-winning and widely
anthologized short stories by Robin Hemley, takes a humorous, edgy,
and frank look at the human art of deception and self-deception. A
father accepts, without question, the many duplicate saint relics
that appear in front of his cave everyday; a translator tricks
Magellan by falsely translating a local chief's words of welcome;
an apple salesman a long way from home thinks he's fallen in love;
a search committee believes in its own nobility by hiring a
minority writer; a cheating couple broadcast their affair to an
entire listserv; a talk show host interviews the dead and hopes to
learn their secrets. The ways in which humans fool themselves are
infinite, and while these stories illustrate this sad fact in
sometimes excruciating detail, the aim is not to skewer the
misdirected, but to commiserate with them and blush in recognition.
