OUR POSSIBLE LIFE
Forthcoming March 2027
"Andre Dubus III writes stories that pierce the insulation of the everyday, leaving us beautifully exposed to the real stakes of our shared lives—pasts, presents, and futures—and the evergreen possibility of forgiveness and repair. With humor, precision, and unsparing compassion for his people, Dubus finds a thousand ways to dramatize the audacity of love, its terrifying risks and its transformative power, its demands and derangements. Dubus III is an expert cartographer of human interiors and the worlds where two lovers overlap, the heavens and the hells we people make for ourselves here, together and alone. These stories will haunt anyone lucky enough to read and reread them, as I plan to do, for the rest of my own lives.”
― Karen Russell, Finalist for the National Book Award, the National Book Critics Circle Award, and the Pulitzer Prize
Ghost Dogs: On Killers and Kin
"Andre Dubus III is a literary treasure. These tender, elegant essays come to us directly from his battered heart, his noble soul, his powerful reckoning with the legacy of his childhood. To read this book is to touch the pulsing core of what it is to be human.”
― Dan Shapiro, author of Signal Fires

SUCH KINDNESS
"Dubus is a scribe of the blue collar, the downtrodden, and the destitute, with an uncanny ability to capture guilt, shame, and anger while also infusing his characters with resilience, strength, and hope. Few writers paint three-dimensional characters with such verve and humanism. Dubus is the Botticelli of Beantown."
― Bill Kelly, Booklist (starred review)
GONE SO LONG
“I tore through this haunting novel about people driven by pain beyond the reach of love and forgiveness, and the roads they use as they seek their way back. It hits just the right note at the end, and I’ll be thinking about Susan a long time. A hell of a read.”
— Phil Klay, National Book Award–winning author of Redeployment
