Separate Flights

This first collection, from one of the most celebrated masters of the form, “restores faith in the survival of the short story” (Los Angeles Times).

For the men and women in Andre Dubus’s poignant debut collection, life and love are not without their tribulations. The devout endeavor to reconcile the demands of their faith with their most basic human inclinations. A doctor is confronted with his limitations as a man. Husbands and wives seek solace in the beds of others, even as their infidelities expose them to further heartbreak.

Etched in austere prose that is punctuated with powerful emotional moments, the richly drawn characters of Separate Flights command both compassion and admiration.

This ebook features an illustrated biography of Andre Dubus including rare photos and never-before-seen documents from the author’s estate.
