Praise for Skip Horack
THE SOUTHERN CROSS
"Nature, human and Mother, informs every aspect of existence in Horack's potent world, a microcosm of all that is paradoxically tentative yet steadfast. Season by season, Horack's debut collection finds much to love, more to respect as he divulges the secrets, traditions, and memories that defy and define this iconic land and its people."
- Booklist
"Horack takes in a wide swath of varied characters and finds the common humanity in their struggles."
- Publishers Weekly
"An engrossing collection of short stories."
- Boston Globe
"This spare, detached treatment distinguishes Horack's work from much Katrina literature. Horack has wisely realized that there is a story, and maybe even a better one, in what isn't changed by catastrophe."
- San Francisco Chronicle
"These stories are the real deal, the way Larry Brown's and Raymond Carver's stories are real. They move at depth with what can only be called a great and authentic soul. This is a special book, and the announcement of a wonderful writer and storyteller."
- Rick Bass, author of THE WATCH
