Tell me what you think of Dubus, especially Voices from the Moon--my last teacher 'match-makes' her students with particular pieces, and that was mine.<br /><br />Yes, City of Thieves is fabulous. I will keep you posted. You liked Still Alice? Great story, not-so-great writing, but still enjoyable.<br /><br />Read on!

I'm reading some Pessoa, Henry Miller (sexist and vulgar but also funny and such a good storyteller) and poetry by Ted Hughes. I have that Dubus collection.
