520    After their parents divorce in the 1970's, Andre Dubus III
       and his three siblings grew up with their exhausted 
       working mother in a depressed Massachusetts mill town 
       saturated with drugs and crime. To protect himself and 
       those he loved from street violence, Andre learned to use 
       his fists so well that he was even scared of himself. He 
       was on a fast track to getting killed, or killing someone 
       else, or to beatings-for-pay as a boxer. Nearby, his 
       father, an eminent author, taught on a college campus and 
       took the kids out on Sundays. The clash of worlds couldn't
       have been more stark or more difficult for a son to 
       communicate to a father. Only by becoming a writer himself
       could Andre begin to bridge the abyss and save himself.
