(3.5*) I'm sure I'll go back to reading Hempel again, now that I have just discovered her, and I wonder why it took me so long to do so, seeing that she's probably the most acclaimed female short story writer in the US today.
If it wasn't clear from the title (and many of the stories in the collection), wiki considers it very important to mention that Amy is a dog enthusiast. Advising all writers to mention their animal preferences in their bio!

Hempel manages to write brilliant short stories, conveying an entire history with very few words. She wastes no energy on detail, writing only what you need to understand the situation. I first noticed her in the "[b:Flash Fiction Forward|337132|Flashforward|Robert J. Sawyer|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1173853613s/337132.jpg|327550]" anthology and eagerly sought out more of her work.
