Book summaryAndre Dubus's last book of short stories, in which his characters wrestle with some of his favorite themes: love, faith, luck, desire, and loss. This collection was nominated for the 1996 National Book Critics Circle Award in fiction. Media reviews"...fourteen new pieces that show this stalwart author, more often than not, at his great-hearted best. Dubus can be both derivative and wildly uneven...At the same time, it's as if there is a stream of the natural, pure, and unaffected, and when Dubus's energies are tapping that current, it seems there's no human life he can't transform into quiet, passionate, commanding fiction...Dubus puts his fingers on the pulse of lives made genuine, felt, and real..." |
