The Pretty Girl
. . . may be the most compelling and suspenseful work of fiction [Dubus] has written.”—Joyce Carol Oates,
The New York Times Book Review

Collected Short Stories & Novellas
) this original edition includes
A Father’s Story
, as well as the novella
. Upon its publication in 1991, Tobias Wolff wrote, “'It is a world of secrets,' says the narrator of
A Father’s Story.
Andre Dubus’s fine new collection is made of those secrets, observed with an art that is luminous with honesty and generosity. Dubus is interested in essential things—in the shadowy powers that circle our lives and the slender resources of faith and love with which we try to keep them at bay.”
