St. Augustine, William's adapted hometown, is not as well known for its revelry or debauchery like Key West or New Orleans but since its founding 450 years ago, there have always been taverns where hungry and thirsty souls came for food, spirits, company and entertainment. Almost five centuries later, lights from the grog houses still beckon those who wish to come in from the night for more of the same. Whether it's called a bar, lounge, saloon, pub or tavern, Last Call, Selected Bar Prose, a compilation of twenty years of work chosen from fifteen different prose books written by William Williamson, captures the gauntlet of behavior and emotions, the conversations and moments that is found in places where people congregate to drink, sharing their life with friends and shedding their skin to strangers. Laughter, loneliness, longing, sadness, boredom, the possibility of someone entering your life or walking out of it, changing your yesterday, the good times we remember and the bad times we would like to forget, permeates throughout William's latest book of prose.
