Tumble Home: A Novella and Short Stories

by Amy Hempel

Tumble Home: A Novella and Short Stories Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Long admired for her "tough-minded, original, and fully felt short stories" (Sheila Ballyntyne, the New York Times Book Review), Amy Hempel takes her art to new heights in her first remarkable novella — as well as in her latest collection of stories that comment on life's ironies with decidedly offbeat intelligence.

Review:

"As we read, we learn that to discover meaning in stray pieces of our universe is a happy, curative act....Hempel makes haunting bits of beauty out of motley scraps." Adam Begley, People
