at the used bookstore:
Joy Williams: Taking Care, Breaking & Entering
Clyde Edgerton: Walking Across Egypt, Killer Diller
Chad Prevost: Snapshots of the Perishing World
Nathanael West: Miss Lonely Hearts & The Day of the Locust
William Carlos Williams: In the American Grain
James Cummins and David Lehman: Jim and Dave Defend the Masked Man
Arundhati Roy: The God of Small Things
Stephen Dobyns: The Church of Dead Girls
Eudora Welty: One Writer's Beginnings
Chris Bohjalian: The Buffalo Soldier
Brigit Pegeen Kelly: The Orchard
Saul Bellow: Ravelstein
E.L. Doctorow: Lives of the Poets
All for under $50. I had to pull myself out of there. But I am super excited about these books. The Prevost one in particular because he is a local Chattanooga author with no connections to the writing workshops at UTC, which makes him a strange and curious anomaly - and he is talented to boot. He did come read at a Meacham, last year maybe? Hmm. Anyway, the other that I am super excited about it the Cummins, Lehman book which comes complete with these amazing illustrations by Archie Rand. I have a feeling this book will be called into play this upcoming semester when tackling poetry in the intro creative writing class. And it just pleases me to no end.
