Book summary


In his follow-up to the bestselling HOUSE OF SAND AND FOG, Andre Dubus III tackles issues of sex, desire, culture, and despair in the days leading up to September 11th, 2001. April, a stripper in Florida, is forced to bring her young daughter to her nightclub job, an event that leads to an altercation with one of her nervous Islamic clients, a desperate man with a terrible secret mission. Culture conflict and sexual tension escalate to an electric level in Dubus's fascinating literary thriller.


Media reviews


"Dubus' hyperdetailed, visceral, and prurient yet undeniably compassionate thriller boldly explores the bewildering complexities of sexuality, and the dire repercussions of isolation and desperation."
