Amy Hempel - "reasons to live"

Beautiful short stories, in which seldom eveything is made clear. Yet no pretence is made about what it means. There is a meaning. There is a thought. And it is yours.

If I am not mistaken, she belongs to a school of writes who abhor the (over)usage of adjectives, and their usage is minimal.

Stories to read over and over again.
