Home Making
Page 14
—Nina McConigley, author of Cowboys and East Indians, winner of the PEN Open Book Award
“Home Making is subtle, funny, and original. An enormously moving novel about learning to make a home and, ultimately, a life.”
—Erin Somers, author of Stay Up with Hugo Best
“In Home Making, Lee Matalone has written the debut novel of the year. Structurally bold and metaphorically rich, Matalone constructs a whole new world from the empty spaces inside us all. In Home Making, Matalone provides a rich, new blueprint of how we find meaning in the places we inhabit, the people we know, and ultimately how we continue to build that home, which is our self. Brilliant.”
—Scott McClanahan, author of The Sarah Book
