Publisher's Summary: Many of Pushcart Prize-winning author Amy Hempel's short stories take place in Chicago, Denver, and San Francisco, the 3 cities she lived in growing up. In a conversation with Jo Sapp, she explains how she works, why she writes, how she defines her thematic concerns, and how she has transformed the chaos of "real life" into pure fiction. Born in 1951, Hempel didn't start writing short stories until relatively late. When she was in her thirties, she studied with writer and editor Gordon Lish and wrote the stories in Reasons to Live in his workshop. At the Gates of the Animal Kingdom is her second collection of short fiction. |
