In the Bedroom by Andre Dubus
The seven stories collected here-including Killings, the basis for Todd Field's award-winning film In the Bedroom-showcase legendary writer Andre Dubus's sheer narrative mastery in a book of quietly staggering emotional power.A father in mourning contemplates the unthinkable as the only way to allay his grief. A boy must learn to care for his younger brother when their mother leaves the family. A young woman who has never lacked lovers despairs of ever finding love itself, and then makes an accidental discovery that brings her real joy. Culled from Dubus's treasured collections Selected Stories and Dancing After Hours, these beautiful stories of people at pivotal moments in their lives are some of the most bewitching and profound in American fiction.
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. He lives in Massachusetts with his wife, Fontaine, a modern dancer, and their three children.
