Joseph Anthony's fine historical novel A Wounded Snake presents a compassionate, yet unsentimental, study of race, politics, law, and lawlessness in the near-South, turn of the 20th Century city of Lexington, Kentucky. Local information about events and personalities is set up as precisely as lead type placed, letter by letter, onto a printing press, to reveal line by line, in stark black and white, how a century ago "a good truth....did more than a fist in the face could ever do." In today's atmosphere of renewed racial tension, A Wounded Snake serves to remind the reader that "we cannot be in this place we�ve been." For although "forgetting is what we do best in the South," it's time to remember and change. --Christina Lovin, author of A Stirring in the Dark and Echo: Poems

Anthony, Joseph G.: - Joseph G. Anthony moved from Manhattan�s Upper West Side to Hazard, Kentucky in 1980. Anthony, an English professor for 35 years, regularly contributes essays and poems to anthologies, including a poem and story in Kentucky�s Twelve Days of Christmas. His most recent novel, Wanted: Good Family (Bottom Dog Press) was described by the Lexington Herald-Leader as �masterfully written and well grounded in Kentucky history and mannerisms [exploring] race, class, relationship and the potential for change.� His previous books include two short story collections, Camden Blues and Bluegrass Funeral plus two novels�Peril, Kentucky, and Pickering�s Mountain. Appalachian Heritage�s said of Pickering that: �Anthony balances multiple voices with restraint�[he makes] us feel for their individual pain and sorrow, their prejudice and greed and lack of guile and fully-realized humanity.� Anthony lives in Lexington, Kentucky with his wife of forty years, Elise Mandel. They have three grown children.
