ISBN: 9780743551663 Год издания: 2005 Издательство: Simon & Schuster Audio Язык: Английский David Sedaris is an exceptional reader. Alone in his apartment, he reads stories aloud to the point he has them memorized. Sometimes he fantasizes that he wrote them. Sometimes, when they’re his very favorite stories, he’ll fantasize about reading them in front of an audience and taking credit for them. The audience in these fantasies always loves him and gives him the respect he deserves.
David Sedaris didn’t write the stories in Children Playing Before a Statue of Hercules . But he did read them. And he liked them enough to hand pick them for this collection of short fiction. Featuring such notable writers as Lorrie Moore, Alice Munro, Joyce Carol Oates, Jean Thompson, and Tobias Wolff, Children Playing Before a Statue of Hercules includes some of the most influential and talented short story writers, contemporary and classic. -

“All the tawdry details I’m dying for are in these stories, but they’re given out like old sweaters—without shame, without guile. Amy Hempel is the writer who makes me feel most affiliated with other humans; we are all living this way—hiding, alone, obsessed—and that’s ok.” —Miranda July
From legendary writer Amy Hempel, one of the most celebrated and original voices in American short fiction: a ravishing, sometimes heartbreaking new story collection—her first in over a decade.
Amy Hempel is a master of the short story. A multiple award winner, Hempel is highly regarded among writers, reviewers, and readers of contemporary fiction. This new collection, her first since her Collected Stories published more than a decade ago, is a literary event.
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. -
Sing Эми ХемпельAmy Hempel ist die Meisterin der Kurzform. In ihren Short Stories geht sie unsere geheimen ?ngste und W?nsche an, beschw?rt unsere Menschlichkeit und verpflichtet uns zu Leidenschaft. Hempels Charaktere sind greifbar und lebendig, immer unvergesslich, mit gebrochenen Herzen und von Trauer verfolgt. Genau wie sie schrecken auch wir vor der Wahrheit zur?ck, fl?chten uns in bequeme und fiktive Ausschm?ckungen, um ihre Gefahren zu vermeiden. Doch Amy Hempels Geschichten erm?glichen es, die Wahrheit zu ?berleben, f?r sie und von ihr zu singen. Das Geheimnis liegt in der Qualit?t des Liedes.

Урожай Эми Хемпель
Язык: Русский «С первого взгляда «Урожай» может показаться чем то вроде списка отнесенной в прачечную одежды. Трудно понять, почему ты готов разреветься, подбираясь к последней, седьмой странице повествования. Чувствуешь себя сбитым с толку и растерянным. Данный текст – простое перечисление фактов, изложенных от первого лица, однако они каким то образом образуют нечто большее, нежели сумму многочисленных слагаемых. Большинство приводимых фактов вызывает гомерический смех, однако в последний момент, когда ты полностью разоружен смехом, текст разбивает тебе сердце». © Чак Паланик -
