The House of Joshua

"Consistently original and provocative"—Publishers Weekly (starred review)

"A radiant and insightful collection of personal essays which meditate upon the importance of place in the development of character. . . . A literary antidote to the displacement and upheaval of modern life as we go crashing headlong into the new millennium."—Kirkus

"Fullilove presents an extraordinary collection of highly intelligent and beautifully written essays. . . . More than memoir, the essays are an exploration of the psychological importance of place in the life of an individual. . . . Fullilove's writing is warm, gracious, and intelligent."—Booklist
