<DIV><DIV><B>Yet another tour de force from an American master of fiction</B></DIV><DIV>&#160;</DIV><DIV>In his fifth collection of short fiction, Andre Dubus exhibits his remarkable storytelling range. In &ldquo;Deaths at Sea,&rdquo; two naval officers, one black and one white, must come to terms with a history and an institution steeped in racism. &#160;&ldquo;After the Game&rdquo; tells the story of a Hispanic shortstop on a major-league baseball team who suddenly and without explanation loses his mind. And in &ldquo;Rose,&rdquo; a mother finally stands up to her husband&rsquo;s abuse of their children. &#160;</DIV><DIV>&#160;</DIV><DIV>The four novellas and two short stories that comprise <I>The Last Worthless Evening</I> traverse those facets of American life that are at the same time cruel and commonplace, and with spare, immediate prose, render them universal.</DIV><DIV>&#160;</DIV><DIV>This ebook features an illustrated biography of Andre Dubus including rare photos and never-before-seen documents from the author&rsquo;s estate.</DIV></DIV>
