   What is Charming Billy?

   • Charming Billy is what happens when you stop in the library on a whim, before you have registered at Goodreads and before you have an idea of what you want to read, and you find the book with the pretty cover, in this case, the one with a shiny golden seal that says "National Book Award Winner." It is similar to the way in which I shop for wine.

   Is Charming Billy a good book?

   • The novel is narrated by the daughter of Billy’s close cousin, Dennis, and the narrative, with a startling revelation of a life-long deceit at the close of the first chapter, explores Billy’s life and the lives of those close to him. The prose is beautiful—McDermott’s finest, I think. Charming Billy is a novel that will not let go of you.

   How long is the first chapter of Charming Billy?

   • I once read somewhere that, when Alice McDermott’s novel Charming Billy was published in 1998, some MFA programs used the first chapter as a model for their students in fiction workshops. It’s a long chapter as chapters now tend to go, at 27 pages, but, set in a small bar in the Bronx after Billy’s funeral, it’s lovely.
