If love is details, so is storytelling, and Anne Lamott excels at it. Her way with analogy, metaphor, and evocative detail is subtle; her ability to shift from the specific to the general to the specific again, superb.'The NationJoe Jones is Anne Lamotts raucous novel of lives gathered around Jessies Caf, 'a restaurant from another era, the sort of brokendown waterfront dive one might expect to find in Steinbeck or Saroyan.' Jessie, 'thin, stooped and gorgeous at seventynine,' inherited the caf years before and it has become home to a remarkable family of characters: Louise, the cook and vortex, 'sexy and sweet, somewhere on the cusp between curvaceous and fat'; Joe, devoted and unfaithful; Willie, Jessies gay grandson, ('I thought he just had good posture,' said Jessie); Georgia, an empress dowager who never speaks; and a dozen others all living together in the sweet everyday. Lamotts rich and timeless themes are also here: love and loyalty, loss and recovery, staying on and staying together, the power of humor to heal and to bind.
