| | 3. |  | Selected Stories
from Vintage
Price: $10.85
Customer Review:
Andre Dubus never seems to have quite made the splash Raymond Carver did, but the two are similar in style and concerns. Carver's strengths and weaknesses are seen in this collection. I found most of the writing overwrought and overdone. Way too often I was thinking, "Oh, come on, no one thinks like... more info

| | 4. |  | Meditations from a Movable Chair
from Vintage
Price: $10.40
Customer Review:
"Meditations on a Movable Chair" is a great work of creative nonfiction. Dubus' thoughts resonate by the pure honesty in which they are presented. He gives us glimpses of his life that are important to him. And we see a man; not very unlike ourselves, who is struggling with a life lived in body,... more info

| | 5. |  | In the Bedroom
from Vintage
Price: $11.01
Customer Review:
Contemplative, introspective, sentimental, and sad stories, but a lot like life. Even in the stories I wasn't too crazy about ("Delivering," "A Father's Story") there is something worth getting. Often, Dubus writes about a particular incident that has changed the protagonist of each story. I always... more info

from Faber & Faber
Customer Review:
...but that's about it.
This is one of Dubus' first novels, and it shows. The timelines in the story are inconsistent; details that you expect to have an impact are never mentioned again.
Nevertheless, I read it thru to the dissappointing end.

| | 7. |  | Dancing After Hours: Stories
from Vintage
Price: $11.86
Customer Review:
This has to be one of the worst books I have ever read. You go from story to story hoping that the next one will be engaging or interesting, but it never happens. Each of the stories in this book could have just have easily come from a 15 year old writing English assignments who also happens to have... more info

| | 8. |  | Adultery & Other Choices
from David R Godine
Price: $11.16
Customer Review:
Simplicity. I hate it, really. I like stuff that reads like poetry, with adjectives all over the place.
Not Andre. It's simply not necessary when you write this well, when every word is chosen with deliberate care. These authors, those who can communicate more with what is not said than what is... more info
