Reviews
"Few fiction writers are as intensely admired by their peers as is Hempel.... Hempel's is a hard-boiled sensibility, and each of her stories will leave the reader shaken."-- The Atlantic Monthly, "Amy Hempel's dazzling wit and exquisite use of language are impossible to disclaim." -- San Francisco Chronicle, "Hempel has established herself among the strongest voices in American fiction.... Hers is the work of a brave, unflinching mind.... Her prose conveys a world stripped to its essences."-- Los Angeles Times, "This could be a very short review. Read this book. These stories are...always original and perfectly expressed." -- "New York Times Book Review", "Its a given that someday a major world religion will arise from this book. It will become a religious text for our descendants, and millions will burn candles around statues of Ms. Hempel. She is a wonder. Honestly, each time you read this book it shortens your time in Purgatory and speeds your eventual salvation." Chuck Palahniuk, for The New York Post, "Over and over again, Hempel pulls out life's pathos so concisely, so extraordinarily, and yet underneath it all is affirmation.... In short, Hempel makes you into a better reader." -- San Francisco Chronicle, "Amy Hempel's dazzling wit and exquisite use of language are impossible to disclaim."-- San Francisco Chronicle, "Hempel is unique. Her word-by-word virtuosity is off the charts; her artistic evolution is phenomenal." -- Chicago Tribune, "Hempel has established herself among the strongest voices in American fiction....
