Books for Men#224 | ‘Reasons to Live’—Why What Isn’t There Is Just as Important as What Is🎙 Douglas Vigliotti explores the powerful short story collection “Reasons to Live” by Amy Hempel, highlighting her masterful use of minimalism as a shining example of what is possible by using “less” to magnify human emotion and complexity.

From a nurse who sees a rattlesnake in the pediatric ICU to an animal control officer convinced she’s found her abducted daughter in the house of a dog hoarder, the thirteen stories in Freak Weather are as unpredictable as the atmospheric changes that give this collection its name.

PEN AmericaPanel: Contemporary Voices in American Fiction, 10/14/1987The moderator, book critic Carlin Romano, engages a panel of writers on questions like whether there is a New York School of fiction writing with certain common features like a minimalist style and a tendency to emphasize everyday detail over traditional fictional apparatus like elaborate plots and moral conflicts; what influence so-called "nightclub fiction," like the novels of Bret Easton Ellis and Tama Janowitz, has on their work; and whether the publishing house you're published by matters (all the writers on the panel are published by Knopf).

has gone on to be one of the most anthologized stories of the last
few decades. We talk about her path to success, and why this story
has resonated. We also discuss some of the mid-to-late 80s backlash
to minimalist fiction, which Hempel got caught up in.
In the second half of the show we talk about people who had
early career success in writing and the arts, and how (or whether)
they followed it up.
