#2646 of 8,085 books · #1164 in Fiction
Shortlisted for the National Book Critics Circle Award for Fiction (1996).
Dancing After Hours was a New York Times Notable Book of the Year. 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.
