	Andre Dubus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Andre Dubus was born in Lake Charles, Louisiana, the youngest child of a Cajun-Irish Catholic family, whose name is pronounced "Duh--byoose" with the accent on the second syllable, which rhymes with the word "muse." He grew up in the Bayou country in Lafayette, Louisiana.
		His son Andre Dubus III is also an author, whose most noteworthy book is the novel House of Sand and Fog (1999), which was a finalist for the National Book Award and which also was made into a movie (also called House of Sand and Fog) in 2003 starring Ben Kingsley and Jennifer Connelly.
		Dubus is a much admired writer, often viewed as a "writer's writer" in the sense that other writers study his style, techniques, and themes and learn from him how to improve their own work.

	Andre Dubus
		When Andre Dubus passed away in his Haverhill, Massachusetts home on February 25, obituaries noted the loss of one of America’s finest writers of the short story and certainly one of the most interesting and inspiring figures on the contemporary literary scene.
		Andre Dubus (pronounced D00-byoose) was described in a 1998 interview on the Amazon.com website as “barrel chested and gray bearded, with wide open eyes and the weathered red face of a man who’s lived a full life.” That life began in 1936 in Lake Charles Louisiana.
		Andre Dubus’ faith was necessary and deep: “I don’t know how somebody without a religious or philosophical background could exist in the world without despair,” he said in the 1990 NCR interview.

		Dubus had stopped to aid two motorists in distress and suffered the loss of one leg and the use of the other.
		Risks were part of Andre Dubus's life, from his youthful years in the Marine Corps (another rich source of story material) to that brave moment on the highway when he likely saved the life of a woman by pushing her out of the swerving car's path, further endangering himself.
		Dubus found this self-transcendence in carefully chosen venues that reflect his own life experience: Catholic schools in Louisiana; the male-dominated military; and in his later work, the Merrimack River Valley, northwest of Boston, an uneasy meeting point of town and gown amid the rubble of obsolete mills and factories.

		I always thought Andre's beauty as a writer was his patience with the line, playing out his sentences longer and longer, note after note like a scat solo by one of the singers he collected, Ella Fitzgerald or June Christie or Betty Carter.
		Andre began the writing workshop after the accident that cost him his legs, and it ran for 12 years until a week before he died.
		Later, Andre's two sons took up the same argument, and their old man challenged them to build his coffin when the time came and see what was true and what wasn't.

		Dubus however knows when he's on to something, and the essays here that stand out, such as that concerning the suicide of a gay military officer, show why Dubus earned his reputation as a craftsman.

		With unflinching candor Dubus explores the uneasy accommodations of marriage and adultery, the self-deceptions of middle age and the terrors of childhood.

	Compare & Contrast Project: Baltimore Catechism vs Andre Dubus
		Andre Dubus' interpretation of the meaning of the word sacrament, suffice to say, was quite different from that of the Baltimore Catechism.
		It is Dubus' strong belief that we give and receive sacraments freely with every action that we take and every moment of life that we experience.
		Whereas the Catechism has only seven sacraments, Dubus begins with those seven and expands them to numerous sacraments and sacramental experiences which can be related to and experienced through everyday occurrences.

		This is the style that Andre Dubus, whose new collection of short stories, "Dancing After Hours," has just been published by Knopf, has mastered, and that has made him one of the great psychological realists among contemporary writers of short fiction.
		At times Dubus' writing almost resembles a kind of imaginative therapy session: It is as if he had decided that only by enacting the most painful and intimate emotional moments in life could he learn their lessons.
		Indeed, throughout his career Dubus has created such an enduring, profoundly decent persona that the reader feels certain that he knows the man himself.
