Rendition Concering Books Selected Stories

These twenty-three stories represent the best work of one of the finest and most emotionally revealing writers in America. Andre Dubus treats his characters--a bereaved father stalking his son's killer; a woman crying alone by her television late at night; a devout teenager writing in the coils of faith and sexuality; a father's story of limitless love for his daughter--with respect and compassion. He turns fiction into an act of witness.

Andre Dubus 1936-1999, Storyteller par exellenceMany of us involved with books reading books, writing books, reviewing books - are well aware fiction writing is a unique calling. Therefore, it is something special when both father and son are accomplished authors. Kingsley Amis and son Martin come immediately to mind as do John Updike and son David; actually, we might think of another father-son fiction writing duo: Andre Dubus and son Andre Dubus 111, author of House of Sand and Fog.This

This is simply my most favorite short story collection ("A Father's Story" - read it) by one of my favorite authors.



Dubus's acute eye pinpoints human behavior, cleanly and realistically. Credit has been given to Peter Yates, his mentor in Iowa, for development of his spare style, nailing with a few words situations that others have spent pages on. The writer he reminds me most of is Raymond Carver -- each was a chronicler of his age, but their stories are universal, never stale.

Picked this one off my abundant shelves(I got even more books today from the transfer station!) and read the first story last night. My first awareness of the writer came from reading about the movie version of "In the Bedroom" a few years ago. I MAY have read something(s) of his in The New Yorker. Goodreads is acting up right now and I'm getting PISSED OFF! Screw it.1 - "Miranda Over the Valley" - a mournful take on the risks of love and sex. Be careful out there! Includes a few words borrowed

I thought this was a pleasant read diving into the dark and scary parts of life. The content matter was fruitful, the characters were dynamic, and the endings were nonsensical as hell. Dubus was a deep and beautiful spirit appealing to both the stubborn and the free hearted by making stories relating to everyday, real life problems and real life blessings. Overall, I would say this is a must read for the upcoming generations to link them with problems that were faced nationwide by everyday

Wonderul. Absolutely freaking wonderful.
