Dirty Love by Andres Dubus

This is one of my favorite authors, even though there are not that many novels by Dubus.  When I saw this in the Library, I grabbed it even though it's a collection of four short stories. I don't usually read short stories, for some reason.
All four stories are about love, as the title reveals ("Dirty Love" is the last of the four stories).  All of the characters grapple with their own issues regarding love, lust, and envy.
There's Marla, the main character of the story that bears her name. She's an overweight, kind of ordinary young woman who works in a bank and finally meets a guy who wants to be with her.
Then there's Mark, in the first story, whose wife has been having an affair, he discovers, as he discovers truths about himself that are hard to face.
The last story, "Dirty Love," was actually my least favorite. But I think I have to give it another chance.
I enjoyed reading Dubus because he is an amazing writer, and this read only made me want his next novel to come out soon!
