Amy Hempel's first published story was a breakout success, and
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.
