Born in 1936, Andre Dubus is a New Orleans native who became a Haverhill, Massachusetts, resident. He dedicates this collection to many authors and friends who held ticketed events reading from their own works over 5 Sunday afternoons to raise funds for his family, and many others who sent warmth and donations. Dubus had stopped to help another stranded on the highway, and was struck by a car. He lost one leg above the knee, enduring many surgeries. The other was damaged badly. And when he began writing again, he did so eloquently from a wheelchair. This book resulted.

Dubus, Andre. Broken Vessels: Essays. David R Godine, 1991.
Price: US$37.50 + shipping
Description: 195 pages. First edition (first printing). Near fine in a near fine dust jacket. Inscribed by the author on half-title pages and signed on the title page. Andre Dubus is celebrated for his ability to depict the subtlest of human emotions in his characters, and when he turns to nonfiction, the resulting insights are no less illuminative. Especially moving are his descriptions of his children, his wrenching account of the 1986 automobile accident that cost him his leg, and of the ensuing struggle for his spiritual and physical survival. Broken Vessels is a book that, in its scope and sympathy, its grace and courage, never fails to startle with the sudden impact of quiet truths, passionately felt and powerfully expressed.
