Dancing After Hours by Andre Dubus
A New York Times Notable Book of the Year From a genuine hero of the American short story comes a luminous collection that reveals the seams of hurt, courage, and tenderness that run through the bedrock of contemporary American life. In these fourteen stories, Dubus depicts ordinary men and women confronting injury and loneliness, the lack of love and the terror of actually having it. Out of his characters' struggles and small failures--and their unexpected moments of redemption--Dubus creates fiction that bears comparison to the short story's greatest creators--Chekhov, Raymond Carver, Flannery O'Connor.A master of the short story.It's good to have Andre Dubus back. More than ever, he is an object of hope.--Philadelphia Inquirer Dubus's detailed creation of three-dimensional characters is propelled by his ability to turn a quiet but perfect phrase. This] kind of writing raises gooseflesh of admiration.--San Francisco Chronicle
Tom Mayer is the author of two works of two story collections--Bubble Gum and Kipling and The Weary Falcon, as well as the non-fiction works Mountain Flying and Climb for the Evening Star, which chronicled the author's experience as a recreational pilot. The recipient of the 1965 O. Henry Award and a Guggenheim Fellowship, Mr. Meyer is a graduate of Wallace Stegner's Stanford Writing Program and a retired professor of English at the University of New Mexico. Andre Dubus III is the author of six books: The Cage Keeper and Other Stories, Bluesman, and the New York Times bestsellers, House of Sand and Fog, The Garden of Last Days (soon to be a major motion picture) and his memoir, Townie. His most recent book, Dirty Love, was published in the fall of 2013. Mr. Dubus has been awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship, The National Magazine Award for Fiction, Two Pushcart Prizes, and he is a 2012 recipient of an American Academy of Arts and Letters Award in Literature. His books are published in over twenty-five languages, and he teaches full-time at the University of Massachusetts Lowell.
