The Cage Keeper: And Other Stories
"In his first collection, Dubus displays a firm grasp of the requirements of satisfying short fiction and a wide-ranging eye tightly focused on the telling detail," wrote PW. "Often violent, given to drink, vulnerable to sexual desire, Dubus's characters are equally capable of compassion and love. No unessential information diminishes the impact of these stories, but what does matter is grippingly and generously portrayed."Copyright 1989 Reed Business Information, Inc.--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
