Williams&＃8217;s short stories are widely anthologized; her first novel, State of Grace (1973), was nominated for the National Book Award; her 2000 novel, The Quick and the Dead, was nominated for the Pulitzer Prize; and her 2001 essay collection, Ill Nature: Rants and Reflections on Humanity and Other Animals, was a finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award. From the beginning, Williams was recognized as a major writer by literary giants like Harold Brodkey, James Salter, William Gass, and Raymond Carver. In 1973, Truman Capote called State of Grace “the best novel of the year.” Williams’s first stories were published in The New Yorker, Esquire, and the Paris Review, and, during the late 70s, George Plimpton said Williams “towers over most contemporary fiction.” In 2000, Plimpton declared Joy Williams was “without question one of the masters of the contemporary short story.” The dust jacket from Joy Williams’s first novel, State of Grace, was nominated for the National Book Award. Washington University Libraries, Joy Williams Papers. In 2015, Knopf published The Visiting Privilege: New and Collected Stories, and it served as the occasion for Williams’s contemporaries to express their admiration. Don DeLillo wrote, “Joy Williams is an essential American voice, giving us a new way to hear the living language of our time, the off-notes, the devious humor—as the strange, fierce, vigorous undercurrent we sometimes mistake for ordinary.” The Visiting Privilege also drew comparably emphatic praise from a younger generation of writers raised on her work. Ben Marcus, reviewing for The New York Times, wrote that Williams inspires “the sort of helpless laughter that erupts when a profound moral project is conducted with such blinding literary craft, when the dilemmas most difficult to accept are turned into dramatic action.” Karen Russell said of Williams, “She’s a visionary, and she resizes people against a cosmic backdrop.” Joy Williams, 1983.
