Description:
"Stunning…a fine,
deeply rewarding collection from one of this country’s ablest writers." –
Anne Tyler.
"Dubus’s characters
resemble those of Raymond Carver...but the stories stand alone in their
idiosyncratic spiritual cast, occasionally religious, more often expressive of
devotion to the people he lives among." – New York Times Book Review.
A
breaved father stalks his son’s killer. A woman cries alone by her television
screen. A devout teenager wrestles with his faith and sexuality. Here, in these
twenty-three stories, Andre Dubus turns fiction into an act of compassion. For
readers new to Dubus, this is the perfect starting point. For fans of his, this
is an essential, must-have collection.
