Guest of a Sinner: A Novel (2004)
ISBN: 9780807151365 bzw. 080715136X, in Englisch, LSU Press, LSU Press, LSU Press, neu, E-Book, elektronischer Download.
It is 22 cats that drive the dazzlingly handsome Eric Thorsen to distraction and into the apartment - if not immediately the arms - of Wanda Skopinski, the rather mousy woman he meets at church when she thrusts a lesbian romance novel upon him. The stench from downstairs drives him from both his rent-controlled apartment and his complacency as a not-quite-successful piano teacher. In his sixth novel, James Wilcox moves beyond the modern South he has etched so vividly and amusingly in the past to take on Manhattan. But somehow he manages to bring the city down to size. The book is filled with as eccentric an array of characters and as much gentle kinkiness as any small-town chronicle. A winning and consistently entertaining story." - Vogue.

Sixth book by the funniest writer you've most probably never heard of, though Harold Bloom thought highly enough of his first novel "Modern Baptists" to place it in his "Western Canon". The little town ofTula Springs, Louisiana and its inhabitants are the primary focus of Wilcox's work, but his humor and concern for the eccentric inhabitants are universal. Wilcox has been praised by Robert Penn Warren, Walker Percy, Brendan Gill, Anne Tyler, Rita Mae Brown, Timothy Crouse, Bobbie Ann Mason, Lee Smith. "Recovering his characteristic wit after the offputting 'Polite Sex' , Wilcox presents a charming novel of life in the Big Apple. The narrative follows the elaborate courtship dance of Eric Thorsen, a 40-ish pianist, and Wanda Skopinski, a clerical worker, who meet in church but actually come together in the ultimate Manhattan venture--the pursuit of a rent-controlled apartment. Barging in and out of their private affair are an exasperating but lovable crew of friends, family and neighbors: Eric's sister, Kaye, and father, Lamar; Wanda's off-and-on boyfriend, Arnold; her nosey older friend, Mrs. Fogarty; and Mrs. Merton, a neighbor with 22 cats. The device of musical real estate gives readers both a tour of the city and insight into the interactions of these utterly convincing characters. Scattered throughout are hilarious moments: Eric covering his rear end with a Laura Ashley catalogue so his 50-year-old sister won't see him naked; Wanda typing a company memo demanding that "no yogurt, Gummy bears, or bananas to be consumed at desks." The late intrusion of Wanda's crazy uncle, Joe, into the story line is a puzzling, but minor, slip in Wilcox's control of the narrative. Overall, this is an endearing tale of ordinary, bumbling New Yorkers as they deal with the fascinations and annoyances of both the big city and their loved ones." - Publishers Weekly.
