Episode 31: Five Things: Writer Silas House On Tea, 'The Waltons,' And Social Justice

from Five Things · host Five Things

This week's guest is Kentucky author Silas House, who made his name as a novelist (Clay's Quilt, Eli the Good) and is also known for his essays and other writings on food, music and politics. He teaches writing at Berea College, so I made the drive to that lovely town and interviewed him at his dining room table. We had a great conversation about growing up in the small town of Lily, Kentucky, how he feels a little bit guilty living only 45 minutes away from there, and some of the people and experiences that have most influenced his writing life.
