Customer Reviews of In the Bedroom
Bewitching Usually I shy away from short story collections, but a friend whose opinion I value highly recommended this book by the well-respected author, Andre Dubus. She was right. These 7 stories are masterful, displaying the quiet power within the decisions we make as we live through life's seemingly small moments. The award-winning movie titled In the Bedroom with Cissie Spacek was made from one of these stories.
A bewitching and profound collection that should be on every serious reader's bookshelf.
This is the world we live in
The thing about this book that people have told me they didn't like was that it was what they found in the newspaper. It is very similar to the world that we live in. The people seem really enough to pop off the page and enter your life. Talk for instance the story The Killings, also the the basis for the moving In The Bedroom. That is something that has happenend in this strange world that we live in. And it is what this amazing author brings to a table. When I first read Dubus I was unsure of his brillance but after reading In The Bedroom, I will not question him again. It is remarkable how well he wrote and knew the people he was writing about.
This book at times almost reads like memoirs. And at other times not so much like anything you have ever read before. Take a chance with a different type of writing.
Monologues about trivialities
These short stories could be of interest, but I cannot share the enthusiasm of other readers. To me they are lengthy monologues by a lonesome soul, whispering to itself about trivialities. I will avoid Andre Dubus. gerborg
