5.0 out of 5 stars
A Major Collection,

This review is from: The Times Are Never So Bad: A Novella and Eight Short Stories (Paperback)
Having read all of Dubus's collections, this is my third favorite, after Adultery and Separate Flights. In "A Father's Story" Dubus once again delves into Catholicism and delivers a poignant story of a man struggling between his love for God and his own daughter. The strongest piece in this collection is the turbulent novella "The Pretty Girl". With a quick and varied sentence structure, Dubus again proves he is a sentence level writer; also, the switch from 3rd to 1st person throughout is an evocative and pervasive tool. This novella is show's Dubus's believe that lives can suddenly change, often with sudden violence, sometimes with grace.

Get his collected stories. Then, after that, like me, you'll probably wanna get every book separately. Highly enjoyable reading for the "literary" reader.
