🎉NEW RELEASE🎉 🐉RATING: 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Lark Ascending, by Silas House, is an eco-apocalyptic cautionary tale in which the reader vividly experiences the loss, fear, and motivation of a refugee. Lark grows up in a time of upheaval. Fires ravage the United States and fundamentalists (“Fundies”) have taken control of the country. At age 20, he is forced to flee across the ocean to Ireland, the last country known to accept refugees. House succeeds in crafting a chilling tale because the story feels terribly plausible. Both in the United States and across the globe, we are witnessing the destruction of greater and more devastating wildfires. We are warned that rising sea levels will force a mass migration inland. At the same time, far-right political groups are gaining ground in the U.S. and Europe. As I write this, the Sweden Democrats, a party with Nazi origins, has gained a significant foothold in Sweden’s government, and Italy is about to elect their most right-wing leader since Mussolini. Despite the horrors Lark faces on his journey, he retains a determination to keep going. And this drive to keep going and stay alive provides the heart of the novel. The author repeatedly returns to themes of hope, trust, companionship, and beauty in even the worst situations. Lark Ascending is not a subtle book. It is both disturbing and beautiful. Silas House has written a tightly crafted vision of the worst our world could become. This is the kind of book that makes you feel the big emotions, a book that sticks in your head long after the final page. It’s not a book I enjoyed, but it is a book that I loved. ❓QOTD: Do you like books that make you uncomfortable?

Ninguém consegue deixar que uma pessoa simplesmente seja como é ❞ . ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Oi, genteee! Turubom? E as leituras? Vocês são os Unidos pela Netflix ou Acadêmicos da Leitura? _ Hoje eu queria comentar com vocês sobre um livro maravigold que li recentemente e que estou indicando para todos que eu conheço, sem nenhuma excessão. _ Nessa história, conhecemos o pastor Asher Sharp, que mora no sul dos Estados Unidos, em uma pequena cidade do Tennessee e precisa encarar o seu próprio passado, depois de uma das mais violentas enchentes que aquelas terras já enfrentaram. _ Um casal gay, que ajudou no salvamento de outras pessoas, perdeu a casa na inundação e precisa de abrigo. Asher se vê diante de um dilema, quer abrigar os dois homens em sua casa, mas encara a recusa da esposa. Um fato que traz à tona histórias enterradas de sua própria vida, a rejeição ao seu irmão, que era também seu melhor amigo. _ Algo o faz questionar todos os valores daquela comunidade e o faz tomar atitudes de ruptura, que desencadeiam uma série de outros eventos. _ O livro aborda um tema bem particular como religião e como lidamos com o diferente. _ House conseguiu nos ambientar em uma história que ocorreu a milhares de quilômetros de distância, mas que no fundo, sabemos que pode estar acontecendo ao nosso lado. Mas não há apenas coisas ruins e nem entendi como tal. Serviu mais como um aprendizado, algo no qual eu posso me policiar mais, notar as pequenas sutilezas que falamos e que nem notamos que é algo ofensivo e excludente. Silas também conseguiu nos apresentar o poder da amizade, da confiança, do perdão e do amor de uma maneira bastante significativa. _ Livro necessário, com uma forte personalidade e um olhar pertinente. _ #livro #rumoaosul #silashouse #faroeditorial (em Recife, Brazil) https://www.instagram.com/p/Buey1GfA2P6/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=s53kzkk2lqbj

Silas House’s new novel #southernmost has received a fair bit of attention lately. I got the opportunity to meet him a couple years ago at the James Agee Conference in Knoxville and he signed this copy of his first novel, ‘Clay’s Quilt.’ He is a native of Kentucky and lives in Berea. First/First, inscribed to me. . . . . . . #silashouse #claysquilt #firstedition #appalachianlit #appalachianliterature #bereaky #kentucky #rarebooks #bookstagram #bookcollecting #bibliophile #southernmost https://www.instagram.com/p/Bub4gnIgUWN/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1mi74w7t5q2vz

#Booksixteen was another masterpiece by Silas House. The Coal Tattoo found me in a time when I needed to connect with someone like Anneth: “You were right, Easter. What you said,” Anneth whispered. “As soon as I had him, I felt like a different person. It was like a light switch being turned on.” Easter nodded. All my life I’ve been looking for magic in all the wrong places,” Anneth said. “Some kind of proof that magic truly does exist in this world. I didn’t even realize that magic was in everything, that it happened every day. But now I know.” #SilasHouse #TheCoalTattoo
