Dancing After Hours by Andre Dubus
Andre Dubus is widely acknowledged as one of the greatest American short-story writers of our age; Dancing After Hours is his first collection for nearly a decade. In each of these fourteen stories, Dubus uncovers the mystery of ordinary life as his characters wrestle with love, faith and luck. Whether at a roadside bar or a family camp, in the everyday rigors of domesticity or its violent extremes, these lives unfold with an inevitability that is moving, sometimes redemptive and always surprising. Dancing After Hours is a remarkable achievement, a literary event combining great artistry and singular humanity.
`Andre Dubus is my hero' Elmore Leonard; `One of the world's few living masters of the most difficult of all art forms, short stories which often move us as much as great plays and novels can' Kurt Vonnegut; `The writing is direct, emotional exact, and musical, with a dark throbbing note like the beat of a heartAndre Dubus is a master' Tobias Wolff
Andre Dubus lives in Haverhill, Massachusetts, and is the author of eight previous books of fiction. He has received the PEN/Malamud Award, and fellowships from both the Gugenheim and MacArthur foundations.
