Resumen del Editor

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: "Killings" - the basis of the Academy Award-nominated film In the Bedroom - is a swift tale of revenge that leaves listeners wondering what they might do in the name of family love.

Dubus' prowess with narrative compression is on full display in the story "Waiting": the hollow ache experienced by a woman widowed by the Korean War took Dubus 14 months to write and was more than 100 pages in early manuscript form but spans a mere seven pages in published form.

Writing in the New York Times Book Review, Joyce Carol Oates called "The Pretty Girl" - the opening novella of The Times Are Never so Bad - "[T]he most compelling and suspenseful work of fiction [Dubus] has written".

Richard Russo's introduction to this volume grapples with his complex feelings on reading Dubus' work over many decades, but when it comes to the much-anthologized masterpiece "A Father's Story", Russo writes: "I won't mince words. It's one of the finest stories ever penned by an American."

Guide for Finding Individuial Stories on the App

Great stories. As with Volume I in this series (We Don't Live Here Anymore), the way some of the stories are listed in the app makes it hard to jump to that story.

The app index shows the name of most of the stories accurately, but a few are listed inaccurately and some titles listed are not actually individual stories in the book. Below is a guide to sort this out. It's a list of each story that appears in the book, followed by a description of how the story is listed in the app index. The app index separates two of the stories into more than one app index entry, as can be seen below. In cases where the index is accurate, only the title is listed below. Hope this helps!
