Dubus III, A: The Garden of Last Days

Andre Dubus III is the author of House of Sand and Fog, Bluesman and The Cage Keeper and Other Stories. He lives with his family north of Boston.

"The best book I read this winter...This book is so good, so damn compulsively readable, that I can hardly believe it...Dubus casts a net of dread over the reader so strong that one sometimes longs to put it down, but finds himself unable... you want to grab someone and tell them to read it - don't wait for the movie, read it now." Stephen King "'More than cements Dubus' status as one of America's finest writers... Tension and confusion are wrought from every spare yet evocative sentence." Irvine Welsh "'You cannot help but be mesmerised'" -- Sunday Times "Explosive... profound...masterful...Difficult to put down, impossible to forget." Kirkus (starred review) "Riveting and disturbing." Esquire
