Several of these stories first appears in different versions in the following magazines: The Falcon New Letter The Ohio Review and The Journal of Irish Literature. Inscribed by the author on the front free endpaper: For Bob For his being himself and being alert when most have gone to sleep. Best Wishes Bill Joyce April 26 1990. This collection of short stories contains tales of magic realism and yearning. Contains seven stories: The Recorder of Births and Deaths; Mrs. Bowles' Lover; You Can't Lose With an Echo Harp; My Family Coat of Arms; My Grandfather's Bones; The Day the Dog Came to Confession; and From the Hook of Transparent Deceits. In this volume of unique stories Joyce plows the field of his first book again the rubble of the American Dream and uncovers tales of magic realism and yearning. From his hilarious account of a love affair between members of the "senior set" Mrs. Bowles Lover to the frankly mystical account of how his grandfather was chewed up piece by piece in a steel mill My Grandfather's Bones Joyce writes in a way that is unclassifiable. It is even possible to find the ghost of Kafka haunting the title story. In 1988 Watermark Books decided to establish a publishing imprint to bring to the market under-recognized literary fiction and regional books of national significance. The Watermark reputation generated enough industry interest for its books to receive review attention in Publishers Weekly The New York Times The Los Angeles Times and other prestigious book periodicals. William Joyce was born in Swissvale Pennsylvania in 1941. In 1959 he wins a TV Guide Scholarship in Journalism to Penn State University. After graduation in 1963 he worked for a CBS affiliate and worked closely with Mike Wallace on an investigative report. In 1966 he joined the Iowa Writers Workshop studying with Richard Yates Kurt Vonnegut Jr. and Jose Donoso. Serves as a teaching assistant with office mate John Irving. Receives an MFA degree. Joyce's first published poem in Western Humanities Review results in the banning of the magazine at the University of Utah and subsequent student protests. In Provincetown Joyce meets Norman Mailer who later writes the jacket blurb for Joyce's first novel. In 1976 - 1977 he becomes first creative writer in U.S. to win Mellon Post-Doctoral Fellowship $10000 receives Connecticut Fiction Grant NEA residency fellowship and is invited by Texas Arts Commission to become Poet-in-Residence. David Ray publisher of New Letters sends Joyce's short stories to Gordon Lish fiction editor of Esquire and head of fiction at Knopf; Lish introduces Joyce to Lynn Nesbit founder of ICM Talent Agency who agrees to take Joyce on. 1982 - 1987 First Born of an Ass is rejected by 57 U.S. publishers until Barney Rosset acquires it and funnels the novel to Henry Holt & Co. Finally published in 1990 a NY Times Reviewer writes "The decade has barely begun but let's hope before it ends this novel is out of print." Kurt Vonnegut Joyce's former mentor is incensed. He organizes Manhattan's independent booksellers who put a blowup of the Times' review Joyce's photo and stacks of First Born of an Ass in windows. Meanwhile two volumes of poetry are published For Women Who Moan and Listen America You Don't Even Own Your Name. Poets & Writers magazine runs an article on Joyce's unusual sales method for hustling these books. Listen America and The State of American Poetry are sent by an unknown person to Cuba. They are translated and published by Opcion magazine. Jose Marti Publishing House offers a two-book contract. Joyce celebrates the occasion by visiting Cuba then opens a bordello in a Vedado mansion renting to tourists. The Cuban government allows him to operate until he assaults an undercover cop. In jail he writes an essay on B. Traven the final essay in the U.S. edition of Miller Bukowski and Their Enemies. Watermark Press, Inc paperback
