"Joy Williams is now the most gifted writer of her generation." -- Harold Brodkey "Joy Williams is simply a wonder." -- Raymond Carver "Savage, serious, hilarious, passionate, loving, and lyrical." --Kirkus Reviews "Williams means to incite, rattle, and pique. Extremely well informed.... These howls, protests, and pleas for sanity are lacerating, brilliant, and necessary." --Booklist "Williams brings plenty of heat to the page--and plenty of light, too." --Amazon.com "Compelling...Highly recommended." --Library Journal "She's seriously ticked off, wholly unapologetic, and enormously fun to read." --San Diego Union-Tribune
