This copy has been SIGNED by Andre Dubus III on the title page (he has also crossed-out his printed name). The "true" first edition - not the Oprah issue. A page-turning, breathtaking novel - the characters walk off the page and into your life. And a small house will seem like the most important piece of territory in the world. The talented young author's third book, this earned him a 1999 National Book Award Nomination. Robert Olen Butler called "House of Sand and Fog a compelling and important book."
