Dubus characterizes and develops the individuals satisfactorily. But these novellas left me disappointed and with distaste. His gratuitous, pervasive descriptions of sex in all its forms is disgusting and I am no prude. And, he writes phrases repetitively such as: Dr. Dre headphones, iEverything, the sound was in her throat, her head, etc. Dubus seems to be obsessed with sex. The House of Sand and Fog was excellent;this effort reads like it was written by a robot-cliches, repetition, predictable prose. I will read no more of his work.
