The Quick and the Dead

The Quick and the Dead - Joy Williams Well Joy Williams sure writes beautiful sentences. I don't know what I thought of this book ultimately because I'm not sure I understood what happened (probably the wrong question) but the language and the characters stay with me. I like how Williams is angry and funny but not whimsical.
