Andre Dubus, III. Plume Books, $7.95 (192pp) ISBN 978-0-452-26371-0
``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.'' (Jan.)
