3.0 out of 5 stars Short, terse and moving, 9 Jun 2006
This review is from: The Collected Stories of Amy Hempel (Hardcover)
Like most people, I had never heard of Amy Hempel until Chuck Palahaniuk recommended her in his collection of essays "Non Fiction". Hempel is a very different writer to Chuck and reminds me alot of Sylvia Plath. Most of the stories are short (except the novella "Tumble home") and very satisfying, whetting the appetite for more.
Hempel deals with the quotidien often incorporating her deep affection for animals into her stories.
Hempel is compared, by author Rick Moody in the preface ,to Raymond Carver and Richard Ford.
However I feel Hempel to be a more sensitive soul and this comes across in these short stories.
