I've been on a bit of an obsessive Andre Dubus jag the past week. I read his essay collection Broken Vessels, reread his Selected Stories, and found a bunch of essays about his work and life. Today I discovered that a documentary film was made in 2007 about his life. It doesn't seem to be available on DVD yet, but I found this clip, which focuses on the accident that crippled him ["cripple" is the word he used for his condition], and his recovery. I wish there was more footage available, especially pertaining to his writing life, but for now at least, it's all I can find.
