From the Publisher
"A page-turner with a beating heart." —The Boston Globe
"A mixture of classical tragedy perfectly imbued with film noir.... House of Sand and Fog is the work of a writer who is the real thing." —The Baltimore Sun
"Elegant and powerful.... An unusual and volatile literary thriller." —The Washington Post Book World
"House of Sand and Fog is one of the best American novels I've ever read." —James Lee Burke
Review
Henry Hitchings -
Times Literary Supplement
"[T]he strength of HOUSE OF SAND AND FOG lies in its raw honesty and its author's ear for the hollow cadences of a realistic anality."
Review
New Yorker
"It's clear from the start that we're heading for a mess; what makes the book memorable is Dubus's affecting, subtle portrait of two hostile but equally fragile camps."
