I can’t believe it took me so long to find this site. Google Deutschland doesn’t have you listed. I finally found you while visiting my parents in the US a few weeks ago.

Jincy, you are one of the best writers on this planet–above or below ground. Every time I see Winner of the National Book Award in a bookstore, I buy it for a friend.

I hope your life is going well. Very well.

Ok, now I’m addicted to leaving posts on this site. Jincy, you rock!

On to my suggestion for books. While I’ve harrassed almost everyone i know about reading your books, I’ve also discovered a Canadian author who now lives somewhere in the states (I’m too lazy to look up where). Anyways, she wrote this hilarious book — George Bush, Dark Prince of Love.

I laughed so hard when reading it, I nearly peed my pants. Don’t you just love it when a book does that to you.

(Jenny and the Jaws of Life, of course.)

Dear Jincy Willett,

I think you’re quite brilliant.

A friend recommended your collection of short stories to me a couple of years ago, and I have been forever grateful, because every story in it is delightful.
I have since recommended it, “as well as Winner of the National Book Award…” to everyone I know, writer or not.
And, I just wanted to say that.
