This collection of short stories from the award-winning author of the best-selling House of Sand and Fog examines the lives of suburbanites seeking solace and gratification in food, sex, work and love. 50,000 first printing. A collection of short stories examines the lives of suburbanites seeking solace and gratification in food, sex, work, and love. In this heartbreakingly beautiful book of disillusioned intimacy and persistent yearning, beloved and celebrated author Andre Dubus III explores the bottomless needs and stubborn weaknesses of people seeking gratification in food and sex, work and love. Slivered by happiness and discontent, aging and death, but also persistent hope and forgiveness, these beautifully wrought narratives express extraordinary tenderness toward human beings, our vulnerable hearts and bodies, our fulfilling and unfulfilling lives alone and with others.
