A Guardian and a Thief is a novel that asks (and not didactically) what you would do, what morals would you compromise, to survive. What would you do to ensure your children survive? We talk to Megha and then discuss a new unique Chicagoland...

BuildwritingThe Copyworking Challenge | Ep 44I've come up with an interesting idea for improving my micro fiction writing skills - copyworking. No, I'm not talking about plagiarism or copy and pasting the works of others. What I'm going to do is study the writing styles and techniques of some great micro fiction authors like George Saunders and Amy Hempel. By very carefully re-writing and emulating their stories, I'm hoping to get a deeper feel for the rhythm, flow, and craft of their prose.

Ho scelto il racconto breve "Nella Vasca". La prima raccolta di racconti di Amy Hempel fu pubblicata a metà degli anni Ottanta, quando la scena letteraria americana vide un inaspettato rinascimento della forma del racconto con l’arrivo di voci quali Raymond Carver, Richard Ford, Jay McInerney, grazie anche al lavoro dell’editor Gordon Lish, il maestro della limatura, della riduzione, della semplicità stilistica.

The Easy Chair with Laura HurwitzEpisode 225: In The Cemetery Where Al Jolson Is Buried (by Amy Hempel)This week on The Easy Chair, it’s the iconic short story writer Amy Hempel’s “The Cemetery When Al Jolson Is Buried.” This poignant story is about bearing witness to the final days of a best friend’s life.

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.
