Author's seventh collection of short stories and last to be published during his lifetime. Nominated for the National Book Critics Circle Award. A New York Times Notable Book of the Year. "Like some of the most satisfying storytellers of the past (Dubus has been compared to Chekhov), he is munificent, spinning out whole lifetimes and recounting events from many characters' viewpoints. For the lyricism and directness of his language, the richness and precision of his observations and the generosity of his vision, he is among the best." –Village Voice
