What other writers are saying about
Clay's Quilt:
"Clay's Quilt surprises us and rewards us sentence by sentence with the deep poetry of kinship. The book is so real it's painful to read in places, lit by a special knowledge and affection. Silas House is one of the truest and most exciting new voices in American fiction."
--Robert Morgan, author of Gap Creek
"One of the best books I have ever read about contemporary life in the mountains of Southern Appalachia, a region I know well. Silas House is from there, he lives there now, and he gets it right. It is sensitively, beautifully portrayed...a thoughtful and disturbing novel, as well as being a good read. I could see and feel Free Creek, and the mountain above it...a young writer of immense gifts."
--Lee Smith, author of Fair and Tender Ladies
"Here is life in the hills as we enter the 21st century--the love of land, the fierce loyalty to family, the church, substance abuse, and violence...Silas House writes from deep within the culture and presents his world without apology or gloss."
--Chris Offutt, author of Out of the Woods
"Murder, music, coal dust, clairvoyance: all are part of the patterns of Clay Sizemore's life in Black Banks, Kentucky. And the thread is passion: passion for friends, lovers, ghosts, the place itself. Silas House is the maker and Clay's Quilt is stitched to last."
--George Ella Lyon, author of
With a Hammer for My Heart
