Description: New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 1990. 1990. New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 1990. 1990. Very good. INSCRIBED & SIGNED BY AMY HEMPEL - Octavo, black boards backed with an orange cloth spine, titled in gilt on the spine, in a color pictorial dust wrapper. 137 & [2] pages plus colophon. Near fine. First edition, first printing. Inscribed by the author and signed in full on the title page. The author of "Reasons to Live", Amy Hempel follows through on the same theme, though in a gentler fashion in "At the Gates of the Animal Kingdom". These stories of women at a turning point in their lives appear to ask the question "What if we could be just like little dogs..forever constant, forever ardent, forever loving in our hearts?.." [Quote excerpted from the dust wrapper copy]. Very good .
