Until just recently I was unaware of the writings of Joy Williams, a winner of the 1992 Strauss Living Award. She is a person who has used the pen (and keyboard) to make people aware of the raping of our planet.
Normally she is a novelist that has even written a travel guide about her home state, Florida, but in her book, Ill Nature: On Humanity and the Abuse of Nature, she takes sarcastic aim at everyone who is to blame for the dismal condition of our planet.
I have found nothing but praise for her writing. It is hard hitting and hits everyone, yes everyone, including you and I. If you are a consumer you are just as guilty of abusing nature and animals as the guy down the street starving his dog to death. Joy puts that into perspective in her book.
I even managed to find her book on sale for only .01 cent! Just click on the link to her book. On that page, at the bottom you can read a part of the book. You will get a good idea of her style of wit and writing.
Her works out shine the author. Other than finding out that she has written other books and lived in Florida, I cannot find out much more about her. If you happen to know if she has a website, blog or even a Twitter account, leave a comment as I would love to find out more about this woman.
