"In his stunning follow-up to the #1 best-selling House of Sand and Fog, Andre Dubus draws us into the lives of three deeply flawed, driven people whose paths intersect on a September night in Florida. April, a stripper, has brought her daughter to work at the Puma Club for Men. There she encounters Bassam, a foreign client both remote and too personal, and free with his money. Meanwhile, another man, AJ, has been thrown out of the club, and hes drunk and angry and lonely. From these explosive elements comes a relentless, raw, and page-turning narrative that seizes the reader by the throat with psychological tension, depth, and realism. / Andre Dubus III is the author of House of Sand and Fog (an Oprahs Book Club selection and National Book Award Finalist), Bluesman, and The Cage Keeper and Other Stories. He lives with his family north of Boston." - Publisher.. SIGNED. 1st. Hardcover. Fine/Fine. 8vo. Collectible.
