Amy Hempel Quotes:
Ocupation: Writer
Life: b. December 14, 1951
Birthday: December 14
I have written letters that are failures, but I have written few, I think, that are lies. Trying to reach a person means asking the same question over and over again: Is this the truth, or not? I begin this letter to you, then, in the western tradition. If I understand it, the western tradition is: Put your cards on the table.
