I can't remember how I found this book, but I'm glad I did. Through these writings about his life, Dubus gets us to look at our own. For me, the essay "Brothers" was worth much more than the price of the book.

Andre Dubus III is my favorite author, and it looks like his father might end up on that list too.

His writing style is clean and simplistic, yet says many things with just a simple sentence. I read this for a college non-fiction course, and I'm glad we did.

A Simple yet powerful story of andre in 25 chapters. The way he describes his relationship with his father is exceptional. The non-syncing chapters add a special flavor to this prose which i felt good.

This is a beautiful and thought-provoking series of memoir essays meditating on the intersections between faith, art, suffering, and relationships. I'll definitely read it again in the future.

Some of the essays in this book provide a new perspective on people with disabilities. A few of the essays seemed to not fit in to the theme of the book. I was assigned to read this book for a course on Disabilities in Film and Literature, and I felt like it added positively to the class.
