Such Kindness By Andre Dubus III
Wednesday, 5/8 - 2:00 pm (Meet at GV office)
Dubus returns with a heartrending account of one man’s desperate quest to retain his sense of goodness under the long shadow of the financial crisis. Fifty-four-year-old carpenter Tom Lowe is near rock bottom. Ballooning mortgage payments, a roofing accident, and a painkiller addiction left him broke. As in Dubus’ previous work, the author poignantly portrays his protagonist’s search for redemption, and shows how precarious situations can make people especially vulnerable. (Publishers Weekly)
