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 bereaved 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.
