While the title novella of Dubus' Finding a Girl in America returns to the somewhat off-the-rails literary life of Hank Allison, the collection's opening story strikes a much darker tone: Killings-the basis of the Academy Award-nominated film In the Bedroom -is a swift tale of revenge that leaves readers wondering what they might do in the name of family love.
