Diane Williams

"Now my father is better than my hat is. My hat is better than my mother's shoes, yet her shoes are better than these socks. My hands are better than her wristwatch. My nose is better than her hair. My teeth are a far cry."

--Diane Williams from the story "It Is Impossible to Imagine a More Perfect Thing" in Romancer Erector: Novella and Stories

PS Her new book of stories: It Was Like My Trying to Have a Tender-Hearted Nature: A Novella and Stories, was just published.
