After their parents divorced in the 1970s, Andre Dubus III and his
three siblings grew up with their overworked mother in a depressed
Massachusetts mill town saturated with drugs and everyday violence.
Nearby, his father, an eminent author, taught on a college campus
and took the kids out on Sundays. The clash between town and gown,
between the hard drinking, drugging, and fighting of "townies" and
the ambitions of students debating books and ideas, couldn t have
been more stark. In this unforgettable memoir, acclaimed novelist
Dubus shows us how he escaped the cycle of violence and found
empathy in channeling the stories of others bridging, in the
process, the rift between his father and himself."
