The third heartbreaking collection of short stories from the acclaimed master who is "here not to offer comfort but truth" ( The New Yorker). The ominous tone of this exquisite collection is established at its onset, as a bereaved father stalks the man who murdered his son. Three stories later, a college student suffers a violent death at the hands of her boyfriend. And in later episodes, relationships falter and fail, not all fatalities being of the flesh.   Featuring some of the Dubus canon's most haunting narratives, Finding a Girl in America is a remarkable lesson in the depiction of the darker side of human nature.   This ebook features an illustrated biography of Andre Dubus including rare photos and never-before-seen documents from the author's estate.
