Joy Williams - the Pulitzer Prize nominee, a virtuoso master of words and a genius -submarine whose novel "Replaced" was released in 1978 and greatly ahead of his time.

"Joy Williams is such a" Stonener"-Case, a fabulous-coherent novel about motherhood, who received a new life forty years after publication, the instant classic of submagical realism. "
Anastasia Zamzova, Esquire

This is a novel about love and despair, about women and men, about adults and children, about people and animals. Like the life of the main character, he masterfully avoids the meaning, like a bird - traps, he is too beautiful, too monstrous, too truthful. This story is like an atonal symphony, shock therapy, a natural disaster - it will turn you inside out and make you laugh through tears. And the main life lesson you receive: do not ask why I am, ask, why? "
