Tumble Home: Stories by Amy Hempel
Critically acclaimed master of the short story Amy Hempel'sTumble Home is narrated by people with skewed visions of home. Not exactly crazy, they become obsessed and irrational as their inner logic leads them astray. In the title novella, a woman living in a psychiatric halfway house writes to a man she has met only once. Proceeding in brief vignettes that link and illuminate, she recounts her peculiar life with the other patients. The accretions of anecdote lead deeper and deeper into the psyche and history of the narrator, gradually revealing the reason for her urgent letter.Amy Hempel is the coeditor of Unleashed and the author of Sing to It, The Dog of the Marriage, Tumble Home, At the Gates of the Wild Realm, and Reasons to Live. Her pieces have appeared in publications such as Harper's, Vanity Fair, GQ, Tin House, The Harvard Review, and The Quarterly, and have been anthologized in collections such as Best American Short Stories and The Best Nonrequired Reading. She teaches in Bennington College's Graduate Writing Department and at Stony Brook Southampton. She resides in the vicinity of New York City.
