LONGLISTED FOR THE PEN/FAULKNER AWARD | ONE OF TIME'S 100 BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR | ONE OF NPR'S BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR
From legendary writer Amy Hempel, one of the most celebrated and original voices in contemporary American short fiction: an astounding literary short story collection of fifteen stories that are riveting in precision (The Atlantic) and scintillating as the blade of a knife ( The Wall Street Journal ).
Amy 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.
These 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.
Ravishing, 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).
