Spencer and Sarah took a quick trip to Lexington, Kentucky to catch up with acclaimed novelist, Silas House. The amount of puns we could write about finding “Home” in Kentucky with Silas House is infinite. We discuss being gay in Appalachia, the Queer progression of Eastern Kentucky, the creative process and go to karaoke songs.

House is the nationally bestselling author of six novels--Clay's Quilt, 2001; A Parchment of Leaves, 2003; The Coal Tattoo, 2005; Eli the Good, 2009; and Same Sun Here (co-authored with Neela Vaswani) 2012, and Southernmost (June 2018)--as well as a book of creative nonfiction--Something's Rising, co-authored with Jason Howard, 2009; and three plays.
