This author has published some 12 or so books. A good place to start is with the collection The Best of Joseph Cowley, which is a pretty good sampling of his writing. It includes his first novel, The Chrysanthemum Garden, which was published in hardcover by Simon & Schuster. That has been his most popular book. It has been said that he can be difficult to read, mainly, I suppose, because he has as tendency to fracture the time line. If you want more conventional writing, try reading Dust Be My Destiny or The House on Huntington Hill first. Don't read The Executive Strategist: An Armchair Guide to Scientific Decision-Making, which was published by McGraw-Hill, unless you are interested in Operations Research or Management Science. It starts out easy to read, but does get a little difficult as you get into it. However, it was picked up by three book clubs and translated into Japanese and Portuguese, so some people found it understandable.
