Sing to It: Stories - Amy Hempel

Descriere & specificații

nLONGLISTED FOR THE PEN/FAULKNER AWARD nONE OF TIME'S 100 BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR n nONE OF NPR'S BEST BOOKS OF 2019 n nFrom legendary writer Amy Hempel, one of the most celebrated and original voices in American short fiction: an astounding collection of fifteen stories that are riveting in precision (The Atlantic) and scintillating as the blade of a knife (The Wall Street Journal). n nAmy Hempel is a master of the short story. A multiple award winner, Hempel is beloved and highly regarded among writers, reviewers, and readers of contemporary fiction. n nThese fifteen exquisitely honed stories reveal Hempel at her most compassionate and spirited, as she introduces characters, lonely and adrift, searching for connection. In A Full-Service Shelter, a volunteer at a dog shelter tirelessly, devotedly cares for dogs on a list to be euthanized. In Greed, a spurned wife examines her husband's affair with a glamorous, older married woman. And in Cloudland, the longest story in the collection, a woman reckons with the choice she made as a teenager to give up her newborn infant. Quietly dazzling, these stories are replete with moments of revelation and transcendence and with Hempel's singular, startling, inimitable sentences. n nRavishing, heartbreaking, and powerfully concise, Sing to It is an exquisite collection (The Wall Street Journal) and a quiet masterpiece by a true American original (NPR).n
