Exquisitely powerful short stories by the masterful Andre Dubus.
Originally published in two volumes, The Times Are Never So Bad and
Finding a Girl in America. This collection includes some of Andre
Dubus’s most celebrated stories including “A Father’s
Story,” “The Pretty Girl,” and “Killings”—the basis of
the Academy Award-nominated film In the Bedroom—a swift tale of
revenge that leaves readers wondering what they might do in the
name of family love. “Dubus’s stories feel as fresh today as
they did when I first read them, three decades ago,” Richard
Russo writes in the introduction. “One reason is the delight he
takes in playing off readers’ genre expectations. Conventional
robbery stories, for example, are almost always concerned with
whether the thieves will get caught. Here [in ‘Anna’] it’s
the exact opposite. Dubus doesn’t care whether Anna and Wayne get
caught; not getting caught actually deepens their predicament.
Similarly, ‘Townies,’ which at first appears to be the story of
a murdered college girl, turns out to be about the unexpected link
between the campus cop who finds her body and the boy who kills
her, both of whom have been excluded from the privileged girl’s
world by virtue of their class.” Collected Short Stories and
Novellas by Andre Dubus includes We Don’t Live Here Anymore, The
Winter Father, and The Cross Country Runner. All three contain work
by an American master, perfect for anyone who loves stories of the
human heart and where it can lead us.
