Young JOE WACHEERA lives on a small idyllic plot in rural Kenya with his loving parents. The area, however, is fraught with violence, and his father is gruesomely murdered before his eyes. Joe and his mother flee for their lives to Kibera, a large Nairobi slum, where his mother is forced into prostitution by an apparent pillar of the church, REVEREND MWELELI.Determined to escape this horrifying situation, Joe does whatever he can to improve their lot. He puts together a gang of toughs, sets up an operation selling bhang (marijuana) to the community, and organises private tutoring. When Mweleli intervenes in a dispute between Joe and a local shopkeeper, Joe ends up working for him on a casual basis, serving tea to visiting business guests.Joe overhears meetings between the reverend, a GENERAL KARIUKI, a British businessman SIR OSWALD HIGGINBOTHAM and others, who conspire to set up a people smuggling operation. Joe 'befriends' Kariuki and uncomfortably agrees to trade sexual favours in return for tutoring in banking finance and accounting. Unbeknownst to Kariuki, using his new found skills Joe regularly steals portions of Kariuki's ill-gotten wealth, hiding it away in London bank accounts. Joe is now sixteen; he and his gang of toughs negotiate their way into joining the people smuggling operation, acting as assistants taking people to Juba in South Sudan. His mother marries and moves out of the slums. But then Kariuki discovers Joe's theft.He confronts and tries to throttle Joe, who, almost by accident, kills him. Joe flees Nairobi and he and his gang join a smuggling operation taking refugees from Juba to Libya; part of the way through the journey Joe takes over the operation. Once in Libya, he and his gang are engaged by British security to rescue a kidnapped agent, which they do in the hope of gaining British citizenship.Joe smuggles himself into London, illegally acquires a British identity and is employed as a messenger at Sir Oswald Higginbotham's financial advisory firm, though Higginbotham does not see or recognise him. With Joe's financial knowledge, and partly through stealing confidential information from Higginbotham's, Joe gradually sets up his own financial advisory business. It's then he meets Isabel Anderson, a kindred spirit with whom he has a passionate love affair. They dream of a future together but must first obtain a legal identity for Joe.Before they can approach MI5 and what turns out to be the agent Joe rescued, however, he is accused of murder - committed by the British man whose identity Joe illegally assumed. He is jailed. Isabel employs a lawyer and Joe is freed. He then exchanges his knowledge of people smuggling for legal citizenship and a guarantee against prosecution for past misdeeds. Joe and Isabel marry, set up a jointly run firm, including Joe's advisory business. Joe's mother dies, and they return to Kenya to see if Joe can reclaim the land stolen from his family years earlier. While in Kenya, MI5 requests he acts as a part-time agent to assist in prosecutions of all the people smuggling conspirators, including Mweleli in Kenya and Sir Oswald Higginbotham in Britain.After a final confrontation with Kenyan security services over Kariuki's death, Joe is exonerated, is tempted but decides against a takeover of Higginbotham's, and regains possession of his family's land. He and Isabel set up a school for girls, in Nairobi, dedicated to Joe's mother.

"Brilliant . . . Larry Brown has slapped his own fresh tattoo on the big right arm of Southern Lit." --The Washington Post Book World Now a major motion picture starring Nicolas Cage, directed by David Gordon Green. Joe Ransom is a hard-drinking ex-con pushing fifty who just won't slow down--not in his pickup, not with a gun, and certainly not with women. Gary Jones estimates his own age to be about fifteen. Born luckless, he is the son of a hopeless, homeless wandering family, and he's desperate for a way out. When their paths cross, Joe offers him a chance just as his own chances have dwindled to almost nothing. Together they follow a twisting map to redemption--or ruin.
“When someone we love dies, most of us do something to keep them from completely vanishing. We summon up memories of them, we talk about them, we visit their graves, we treasure photographs of them, we dream about them, and we cry, and for those brief moments they are in some way with us. But when my friend Joe Brainard died, I knew I was going to have to do something beyond all these.” So begins Ron Padgett’s warm, conversational memoir—the unlikely and true story of two childhood friends, one straight and one gay, who grew up in 1950s Oklahoma, surprised their families by moving to New York City in search of art and poetry, and became a part of the dynamic community of artists and writers whose work continues to shape American culture. Much of this intimate memoir is told in Joe’s own direct and unforgettable voice. Dozens of letters, journal entries, poems, photographs, and artworks create a stirring portrait of the times—one that illuminates not only Joe Brainard’s life and art, but the influence that his kindness and insight had on the lives of his contemporaries, including Alex Katz, Andy Warhol, Frank O’ Hara, Joe LeSueur, Anne Waldman, John Ashbery, Kenward Elmslie, and countless other friends, lovers, and admirers. As Ron Padgett generously shares his memories, he allows us all to get to know Joe Brainard, a truly great person who just happened to be a brilliant artist and poet. Above all, Joe is a gentle reminder that love, life, and art matter every second. Poet Ron Padgett, the son of an Oklahoma bootlegger, grew up in Tulsa where he met Joe Brainard at the age of 6. His recent books include the memoir, Oklahoma Tough: My Father, King of the Tulsa Bootleggers and the collection of poems You Never Know.
