Heavenly Days Hardcover - 2003

by James Wilcox

Beloved Southern chronicler James Wilcox, with his rare blend of hilarity and compassion, is a novelist whose work has been featured in both Harold Bloom's The Western Canon and GQ's recent list of the forty-five best fiction books published in the last forty-five years.

Tula Springs, Louisiana, first created by Wilcox two decades ago, is striving to find its foothold in a disarmingly modern world. So, for that matter, is Lou Jones-middle aged, sensitive, and gutsy-who lives in a $295,000 Cajun cabin and works as the receptionist at a fundamentalist health emporium in a defunct train station. It's the only job in town that doesn't require computer literacy and she earns three times what the state college paid her for teaching music theory. Soon the bemused Lou finds herself embroiled with the North American Bassoon Society, a gun-toting tax assessor, her maid's enigmatic polite-society mother, her laid-off husband's obsession with his childhood home, and the theft of a much-disputed ornate dresser. Heavenly Days is James Wilcox at his best, a gift to his longtime readers and to a whole generation of new ones.

Description:
Hardcover with dust jacket, published by Viking, 2003. First edition hardcover. From the author of 'Modern Baptists', this is the story of Lou Jones, who finds herself embroiled in a series of complicated misunderstandings as she tries to evade a gun-toting tax-collector while also trying to befriend her aloof housekeeper and her unnervingly elegant mother. The dust jacket is intact and is not price clipped. This copy is not a remainder, not a library discard. The edges of the text block are clean. No former ownership marks, no writing on the text pages. The binding is tight and square. The attached photo is of the copy we have in our inventory, not a stock photo!
