Praise for Carrier&#147;What is so amazing about Rough&#8217;s struggle with her DNA destiny is not just the impossibly tough choices she faces in planning her own future, but the raw courage she exhibits in dealing with the choices made by the generations before her. A carrier of the rare genetic condition hypohidrotic ectoderm dysphasia, which condemns sufferers to a lifetime of debilitating infections, chronic respiratory ailments, and recurring skin rashes, Rough reports that her grandfather and brother were scarred by the disease, leaving their wives, mothers, and daughters helpless and angry . . . This is a story that will resonate for anyone who grew up in a family with a relative suffering from a chronic illness or addiction.&#8221; &#151;Publishers Weekly (starred review)&#147;Rough a fine writer with a talent for portraying subtle family dynamics. When she writes as herself, she is often quite moving-particularly when she deals with the possibility of passing HED to her unborn child and her pain as she receives the fateful genetic-test results. An . . . engaging memoir that provides a much-needed window into how serious genetic conditions affect families.&#8221; &#151;Kirkus Reviews&#147;Rough&#8217;s first-person account of carrying the gene for hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia includes monologues by her grandfather Earl, who died when she was a baby. His illness from the genetic disorder&#151;characterized by sparse hair, cone-shaped teeth, inability to sweat, and distinctive facial features, including a deformed nose&#151;is carried invisibly by mothers and passed to sons . . . Readers will be moved by her emotional pain, but equally affecting is Earl&#8217;s . . . his is the haunting voice of the past that overshadows the present in this compelling read.&#8221; &#151;Booklist&#147;Bonnie Rough&#8217;s search is a myth for our time, and her book a necessary read for anyone who faces the implacable destinies of inheritance.&#8221; &#151;Honor Moore, author of The Bishop&#8217;s Daughter&#147;Bonnie Rough has crafted a memoir like no other: lyrical, investigative, haunting, and tender, all fueled by a powerful imagination and fiery intelligence unlike any other in the literary cosmos. Carrier is boundary-busting nonfiction at its finest. This is a book I will not only recommend widely but teach for years to come.&#8221;  &#151;Robin Hemley, author of Do-Over!&#147;There are many things to praise in Bonnie Rough&#8217;s deeply felt memoir, in her report from the brave new world, but most striking are her compassion and her wisdom as she navigates the harrowing choices, the complex choices that medical technology allows us.&#8221; &#151;Jane Hamilton, author of When Madeline Was Young

Carrier

“[An] elegant historical novel . . . Lee Smith is an assured and accomplished writer, and her use of Zelda as a subject in Guests on Earth is brilliant . . . This is a carefully researched, utterly charming novel. By the time you finish it, you fall in love with these fascinating lives, too.” —The Washington Post“Guests on Earth is a mesmerizing novel about a time and place where creativity and passion, theory and medicine, fact and fiction, are luminously intertwined.” —BookPage“Indeed, most of the high spirited, rebellious, outspoken women who populate Guests on Earth would not now be considered insane at all. Smith’s imaginative, layered story illuminates the complexity of their collective plight—to be put in towers until they had no choice but to behave—and rescues them one by one.” —The Atlanta Journal-Constitution “[An] engaging and engrossing novel . . . Smith’s well-developed characters, rich historical detail and easy prose create a novel that some may call her best yet, and which it just may be.” —Minneapolis Star Tribune“Those who enjoyed Smith’s previous work (e.g., Fair and Tender Ladies; The Last Girls) will certainly appreciate this absorbing book, as will those interested in the history of treating mental illness in the United States and fans of Southern or Appalachian fiction.” —Library Journal “With Guests on Earth, Lee Smith shines new light on a shadowy, complex subject . . . She offers a broader historical perspective--and with it, a captivating, inimitable voice.” —The Raleigh News and Observer“Treading the fine line between sanity and insanity, this historical novel imagines the 12 years proceeding the 1948 fire that engulfed a North Carolina mental hospital and killed F. Scott Fitzgerald’s estranged wife, Zelda.” —Ms. Magazine“Engaging . . . Touching.” —Publishers Weekly“This is Lee Smith at her powerful best, writing the South she knows through the eyes of a woman who lived it.” —Adriana Trigiani, author of Big Stone Gap and The Shoemaker's Wife “In Guests on Earth Lee Smith gives evidence again of the grace and insight that distinguish her work. Her characters are realized with singular intensity, the most vivid interior life, and flawless dialogue. Reading Lee Smith ranks among the great pleasures of American fiction.” —Robert Stone, author of Death of the Black-Haired Girl and Dog Soldiers

This is an elegant meditation on how to think about passing into death. Inspired by the author's desire to speak to his terminally ill mother about how to find some solace—something of value—in passing away, the book subtly weaves together philosophical ideas on death, immortality, the value of life, regret, meaningfulness, valuing imperfections, gratitude, and the sources of solace. Glasgow has a gift for gently guiding his reader through complex ideas without
losing sight of our human need for solace in the face of mortality.
