Thanks to David Lahm, Susan and Davd Sapp for these new Joni in Fiction mentions. We already knew about "The Hissing of the Silent Loney Room," but we had no information about it at all. And " The Pull of the Moon" and " The City of Shy Hunters" are news to us. Sincere thanks to you all for helping to make the Joni in Fiction the impressive feature it is becoming.
I have been kidnapped by my best friends and taken out of state for my birthday weekend. I will update the Joni in Fiction database as soon as I get back home. Thanks to David Lahm for: << "Like every other title in Paul Charles's series of detective novels about Inspector Christy Kennedy, THE HISSING OF THE SILENT LONELY ROOM (Do-Not Press/Dufour, cloth $29.95; paper $15.95) sounds as if it wants to be a song title. >> And to Susan for: << I only *just* finished re-reading a favorite novel, The Pull of the Moon by Elizabeth Berg - I can't come up with the word for the quote page at the beginning of a book (not dedication... inscription... attribution... prologue... introduction... foreshadowing... but I'll be d*mned if I can remember what it *is*!), but... on that particular page it says: Upon being asked if she knew how to be fifty, Joni Mitchell answered: It will make itself known". >> And to David Sapp for: << The City of Shy Hunters a novel by Tom Spanbauer - Grove Press 2001 setting mid 80's Manhattan Fiona is one of the lead characters and is an avid fan of Joni and Leonard Cohen. Joni is mentioned several times. >> --Bob
