Amy Hempel is a master of the short story. This celebrated volume gathers together her complete work -- four short collections of stunning stories about marriages, minor disasters, and moments of revelation.

For readers who have known Hempel's work for decades and for those who are just discovering her, this indispensable volume contains all the stories in Reasons to Live, At the Gates of the Animal Kingdom, Tumble Home, and The Dog of the Marriage. No reader of great writing should be without it.

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.
