Possibly, it is the best he has written of all."<br><br>Its protagonist is one of Malamud's finest characters; prize-winning biographer William Dubin, who learns from lives, or thinks he does: those he writes, those he shares, the life he lives. Now in his later middle age, he seeks his own secret self, and the obsession of biography is supplanted by the obsession of love--love for a woman half is age, who has sought an understanding of her life through his books. <i>Dubin's Lives</i> is a rich, subtle book, as well as a moving tale of love and marriage.<br></div> 975720 1979 Dubin's Lives total:48|5:11|4:20|3:11|2:5|1:1| 48 179 84 8 5 0 false false Wed Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2003 Thu Apr 09 15:26:47 -0700 2009 Thu Apr 09 15:28:36 -0700 2009
