Published by Open Road Media
A tour de force collection from an American master of short fiction—“its emotional heartbeat is so insistently truthful” (The New York Times).

In his fifth collection of short fiction, Andre Dubus exhibits his remarkable storytelling range. In “Deaths at Sea,” two naval officers, one black and one white, must come to terms with a history and an institution steeped in racism. “After the Game” tells the story of a Hispanic shortstop on a major-league baseball team who suddenly and without explanation loses his mind. And in “Rose,” a mother finally stands up to her husband’s abuse of their children.

The four novellas and two short stories that comprise The Last Worthless Evening traverse those facets of American life that are at the same time cruel and commonplace, and with spare, immediate prose, render them universal.

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