Special Kay

Terry Kay is one of the South's most loved, widely acclaimed, and successful writers. Most know Kay for his bestselling novels and their star-studded movie adaptations; often his readers are not aware of the astute and humorous social critic resting behind the novelist's veil. Special Kay reveals the essayist, critic, and humorist who has written for a wide array of newspapers and magazines for years. From "The Strange Dance of the White Dog" (the essay that lead to the now-famous novel translated around the world, a bestseller in Japan) to "I was a Teenage Quarterback" and other essays, this collection proves that Kay's sense of power in words can be seen not only in his fiction but in his nonfiction as well.

"The perfect writer for those who love to read." - Pat Conroy
