William Kennedy (author) William Joseph Kennedy (born January 16, 1928) is an American writer and journalist born and raised in Albany, New York, the son of William J. Kennedy and to Mary E. McDonald. Kennedy was raised a Catholic. Many of his novels feature the interactions of members of the fictional Irish-American Phelan family and make use of incidents of Albany's history and the supernatural. Kennedy's works include "The Ink Truck" (1969), "Legs" (1975), "Billy Phelan's Greatest Game" (1978), "Ironweed" (1983, winner of the 1984 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction; movie, 1987), and "Roscoe" (2002). In 2011, he published "Changó's Beads and Two-Tone Shoes", which one reviewer called a book "written with such brio and encompassing humanity that it may well deserve to be called the best of the bunch".
The Only Snow in Havana The Only Snow in Havana is a non-fiction book, written by Canadian writer Elizabeth Hay, first published in September 1992 by Cormorant Books. In the book, the author chronicles an eight-year sojourn in which she traveled to Mexico, and through Cuba and Latin America, settling in New York until her return to Ottawa in 1992. Hay was homesick throughout her time away, and every new experience of her travels invoked reflections of home, which she recorded in her journal. Hay's journals resulted in a trilogy of books, of which, "The Only Snow in Havana" is second.
