Items related to Dancing After Hours
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.

From the Inside Flap:
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.
