    <body><![CDATA[It's almost too easy to start out this review with a metaphor based on a line from a story in this book. Never mind that it's a line from the best story in here (&quot;The Harvest&quot;) and that it seems ample: &quot;I leave a lot out when I tell the truth.&quot; This seems too easy a start, and it...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/26963330">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[If you're thinking of trying an Amy Hempel book, pick one up and take a look of the picture of her that's on her back covers. Once you get past her teased up 90's hair and how ridiculously beautiful she is, take a good look at her, especially her eyes.

    <body><![CDATA[I've been a fan of Hempel for awhile now. Her style is so sparse and so dense, I'm in awe of what she accomplishes with each piece. This collection, however, is nothing short of amazing. I often admire author's for the scenes they craft or lines they come up with, but no one blows my mind as often a...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/47941771">more...</a>]]></body>

When everything was going one way and then goes another way, as William of Heaven would say.
