Andre Dubus

In the title story, a vigilant young man working in a halfway house finds himself unable to defend against the rage of one of the inmates....

While the title novella of Dubus' Finding a Girl in America returns to the somewhat off-the-rails literary life of Hank Allison, the collection's opening story strikes a much darker tone....

This third volume in the series draws together for the first time many of Dubus' previously uncollected stories, including work from the mid-1960s and the late 1990s. The earliest story appearing here in audiobook form for the first time is "The Cross Country Runner"....

The collection includes the novella We Don't Live Here Anymore, which served as the basis for the 2004 film of the same title. While the collection's opening stories focus on the fragile nature of youth, later stories shift to darker struggles of adulthood....
