The Florida Keys: A History & Guide Tenth Edition (Florida Keys)

Joy Williams

Random House Trade Paperbacks, 2003

This one is the last.
This 10th edition is Joy's last. In an Afterword written in 2003 and laden with sadness and disappointment, she says, that the commodification of Key West and the total takeover of the Keys by the tourist mongers, have killed it for her. The book, however, remains as ...

Honored Guest: Stories

Joy Williams

Vintage, 2005

read this book--you will not regret it
Honored Guest is a remarkable book. I will not say that it is easy to read, because it is not; it is heartbreaking. I will not say that you will love and cheer for each of the characters, because you will not; they are flawed. I will say that if you are lucky enough to ...

Williams Sonoma Kids Baking

Abigail Johnson Dodge

Oxmoor House, 2003

Love it! Love it! oh- and the kids do too!
I traveled to a few different stores to puruse their cookbooks for kids. My children (3 & 5) love to cook and bake with me, and I was looking for a book with good pictures/illustrations, and recipes that were easy to make with them, but also good to eat. This one, ...

State of Grace

Joy Williams

Vintage, 1990

ONE MILLION STARS
I picked up this book quite by accident, having been recommended to another Williams, or, perhaps, another Joy. Frustrated, I glanced at the first page, and, finding it not repellent, read a bit more. The next thing I knew, I was immersed in something extraordinary and ...

Girls From Da Hood 2

Joy, Kashamba Williams, ...

Urban Books, 2008

The Path to self destruction.
Nikki, Kashamba and Joy are among the most popular authors of today and I expect to be highly entertained whenever I read any of their novels. Well of course these ladies didn't disappoint...as always they write with an edgy realness that makes you feel like you ...

An overlooked and spectacular novel, THE CHANGELING is a visionary fairy tale, a work of mythic genius.

The Woman Behind the Collar: The Pioneering Journey of an Episcopal Priest

Joy Carroll Wallis, Dr. Rowan Williams

The Crossroad Publishing Company, 2004

Either title is great
The book is an illuminating look at a the makings of a modern Anglican priest. I will note, however, that it was originally published as "Beneath The Cassock" --- so no need to buy both!

Taking Care

Joy Williams

Vintage, 1985

On the 5th read - still brilliant
Once in awhile I get drawn back to Joy Williams work. State of Grace is one of my all time favorite novels. Joy Williams is one of the very few authors I read again and again, and I always come away inspired and entranced and somehow surprised. How can a story ...

Our Enemies in Blue: Police and Power in America (Revised Edition)

Kristian Williams

South End Press, 2007

You may not agree.
This book will appeal to those of you who are already educated to the reality that police exist for one reason and one reason alone : To maintain the current class order and hierarchies of society. Let's be honest here. Poor people go to jail. Not the rich. The ...

Escapes

Joy Williams

Vintage, 1991

Masterful, brilliant, always interesting
It's hard to say what Joy Williams's stories are about. Despair. Dissatisfaction. Indefinite yearnings. Alienation, maybe. They are populated with the unglamourous, the unstylish. Typically there is a central female character who is usually young, or at least ...

Ill Nature

Joy Williams

Vintage, 2002

"Beautiful, menacing and slightly out of control."
Death and suffering are a big part of writing. A big part. (To paraphrase and turn upon the gifted Joy Williams; see page 49.) And you can't waste satire or pure hardcore ridicule on targets unworthy of the name. You've got to go after the people who kill animals, ...

My Sister's Hand in Mine: The Collected Works of Jane Bowles

Jane Bowles

Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 2005

Read it
Incredible book. Jane Bowles has the unique characteristic of amusing and depressing us at the same time. Two serious ladies and her short fiction(Camp Catarat and Plain Pleasures are masterpieces) are unique. Her play is funny but she is not as good as in her ...
