Dancing After Hours
Dancing After Hours: Stories | Andre Dubus
3 posts | 6 read | 4 to read
A New York Times Notable Book of the Year From a genuine hero of the American short story comes a luminous collection that reveals the seams of hurt, courage, and tenderness that run through the bedrock of contemporary American life. In these fourteen stories, Dubus depicts ordinary men and women confronting injury and loneliness, the lack of love and the terror of actually having it. Out of his characters' struggles and small failures--and their unexpected moments of redemption--Dubus creates fiction that bears comparison to the short story's greatest creators--Chekhov, Raymond Carver, Flannery O'Connor. From the Hardcover edition.

Book 2 of the #MakeMeRead readathon. A beautiful collection of short stories. Dubus' writing is lyrical and emotional and I cannot remember the last time I highlighted this many quotes in a book! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This has been a frustrating read. 2/14 stories are gorgeous and wonderful, telling family and situational minutiae in MA. The other 12 are problematic, mostly with female protagonists... but newsflash, white male writer - FEMALES DON'T SOUND OR THINK HOW YOU WRITE THEM. Maybe the early 1990s was a different time, but it was enraging to read the gender bias and "guilt" over career/non-career choices. What happened to writing from experience?

He said that fear doesn't cause running away. Running away causes fear.
