A Pulitzer Prize Finalist From one of our most heralded writers--Joy Williams belongs, James Salter has written, "in the company of C line, Flannery O'Connor, and Margaret Atwood"--her first novel in more than a decade: the life-and-death adventures of three misfit teenagers in the American desert. Alice, Corvus, and Annabel, each a motherless child, are an unlikely circle of friends. One filled with convictions, another with loss, the third with a worldly pragmatism, they traverse an air-conditioned landscape eccentric with signs and portents--from the preservation of the living dead in a nursing home to the presentation of the dead as living in a wildlife museum--accompanied by restless, confounded adults. A father lusts after his handsome gardener even as he's haunted (literally) by his dead wife; a heartbroken dog runs afoul of an angry neighbor; a young stroke victim drifts westward, his luck running from worse to awful; a sickly musician for whom Alice develops an attraction is drawn instead toward darker imaginings and solutions; and an aging big-game hunter finds spiritual renewal through his infatuation with an eight-year-old--the formidable Emily Bliss Pickless. With nature thoroughly routed and the ambiguities of existence on full display, life and death continue in directions both invisible and apparent. Gloriously funny and wonderfully serious, The Quick and the Dead limns the vagaries of love, the thirst for meaning, and the peculiar paths by which all creatures are led to their destiny. A panorama of contemporary life and an endlessly surprising tour de force: penetrating and magical, ominous and comic, this is the most astonishing book yet in Joy Williams's illustrious career.Binding Type: Paperback

nice loafer
Size: 10, Color: Brown Faux Suede
comfortable and nice-looking loafer. i wear 10.5 and ordered 10 and they fit fine. haven't worn them much yet so i can't say how they'll hold up but seem pretty nice for the price.

Great Bang for Buck! SIZE DOWN!
Size: 11, Color: Tan Faux Leather
The Quality of these shoes are great! They feel good, are a deep brown color, the stitching is good, all in all great shoes. They are comfortable to walk around in making them a versatile choice for any occasion. My only issue was sizing. As everybody says these shoes run big, I am usually a 10.5/11. I went with the 11s and they are slipping off my heels. Size Down!

Overall very good
Size: 9, Color: Black Faux Leather
I liked these loafers very much. The sizing was true, and on point. Fit was comfortable, and the sole’s height wasn’t too exaggerated. Overall very satisfied given the price, however I do wish they looked a bit more luxe,

Size down
Size: 7, Color: Brown Faux Suede
These are my absolute favorite loafer! I wore them to my company Christmas party and got so many compliments! They run big though. I wear a mens size 8.5 (usually 8 in dress shoes) but was able to get these in a mens 7 and they fit perfectly!
