Industry Reviews "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." New Yorker (03/29/1999)
"[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." Times Literary Supplement - Henry Hitchings (04/07/2000)
