Reviews for Selected Stories of Andre Dubus

Mary Morris paints a compelling tale of two women's obsessions and the blackest Revenge, --Elissa Schappell, Vanity Fair A thriller doesn't always need international intrigue, firearms, or even a murder to be exciting. In the right hands, a story of a growing friendship can be as tense as anything most publishers would subtitle 'A tale of suspense.' Revenge is such a novel. -- Ron Bernas, Chicago Tribune Who is doing the using and who is being used? That is the question in this tautly plotted novel, genteel fiction with the anxious heartbeat of a psychological thriller. --Amanda Heller, The Boston Globe A powerful exploration of the ferocity with which we cling to the stories we tell ourselves when the facts have become too frightening to bear. --Valerie Martin, author of Property
