Knopf, 1985

Reasons to weep
I first found Amy Hempel in college. A perceptive, smart instructor assigned me "The Cemetery Where Al Jolson is Buried." It was a shock to the system. For the first time in years words on a page made me weep. I was instantly hooked on Amy Hempel. This is, I believe, her greatest collection. From first page to last it is an extraordinary look into the human condition. The two real standouts ...

Tumble Home

Scribner, 2008

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 insignificant at first glance. My favorite stories are "Sportsman," "The New Lodger," "The Children's Party," and the novella ...

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 book being, "The Harvest" "At the Gates of the Animal Kingdom" "Murder" and "Rapture of the Deep". The effort she must've put ...

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. Down into the language of grief. A friend from Spain recommend this book.

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 validated a lot of the practices I do everyday. Buzzy, where is the sequel?

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 these poems to inspire her students to write poems from their own pets' point of view ... just so the kids will feel safer ...

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 readers like "Gracie" obviously missed, is phenomenal. Hempel may not be a quick read, but she is certainly worth the extra effort. ...
