Breaking and Entering is a 1988 novel by American writer Joy Williams.

This gap occurred in part because of a negative review Williams received from The New York Times critic Anatole Broyard for her novel The Changeling.

[3] American author Paul Lisicky has said he "fell in love" with the book while attending graduate school and that it influenced his own novel, Lawnboy.

[4] Zoltán Abádi-Nagy, writing in the Hungarian Journal of English and American Studies, grouped the novel with works by other American "minimalist" authors.
