An Exceedingly Rare and Wonderful Appearance by Joy Williams
It's not every day that Joy Williams, who is possibly America's greatest living writer, publishes something new, so make sure that you save yourself some special time to read this new story that Granta has published online. If you're looking for more short stories to read, why not start with Taking Care or Honored Guest?
Gorgeous. I kind of jumped up out of my seat a little bit at the end and went, "oh my god, oh my god, I did not see this at all."
@armagnacforbreakfast Me too – that ending hit me like a ton of bricks.
THAT'S A BIRD.
Greatest living writer? Did Cormac McCarthy die?
Granta 117: Horror reading tonight at Greenlight Books. 7:30. Be there, be square.
Thanks for this — between this and the link to Mona Simpson's eulogy (where the hell was it in the paper) you guys get the Distiguished Public Service Award of the week!
Hey did you ever see Joy Williams guide to the Florida keys? Best travel guide I've ever seen –
