Joy Williams – Honored Guest
Out of stock
$8.00
In short stories “so vibrant and alive they have heartbeats, the prose so electric and dazzling it makes the pulse race” (Vanity Fair), a masseuse breaks her rich client’s wrist bone, a friend visits at the hospital long after she is welcome, and a woman surrenders her husband to a creepily adoring student.
With her singular brand of gorgeous dark humor, Joy Williams explores the various ways—comic, tragic, and unnerving—we seek to accommodate diminishment and loss, offering a rich examination of our capacity for transformation and salvation.
Book is in “Like New” condition. Some light superficial wear and/or remainder mark might be present.
