About The Burning House
“...took hold of me from the first page and I read it straight to the end. There is a compulsive forward movement to the story that makes it feel like a mystery—except the enigma here has to do with the different attractions of the beautiful sisters, Joan and Laura, and the allure of the old seaside town. It’s the sort of very good book that makes you feel like you’re dreaming when you’re reading it, and opened-up and curious when you finish. So much happens, each word counts. I really loved it”
—Alice Elliott Dark
“...an achingly lovely novel about the things that bind us together in this life and the things that pull us apart. Paul Lisicky has an extraordinary gift for exploring emotional nuance and the rhythms of desire. With this book he yet again asserts himself as one of the select writers who continues to teach me about the complexities of the human heart.”
—Robert Olen Butler
About Lawnboy
“Quite simply, the real thing, a novel of mystery and great beauty. The appearance of a writer like Paul Lisicky—a writer who deeply respects the complexities of love and desire, who can find tragedy and transcendence almost every where he looks—is a rare event”
—Michael Cunningham
“Lisicky’s prose shines, at times hilarious, at others entrenched in sorrow and longing, but always gorgeous to read... The reconciliations between the characters are moving and earned, graced with compassion and vitality.”
—Bret Anthony Johnston
“Nobody writes about hilarious longing the way Paul Lisicky does. Some writers manage to be funny and sad in turn... Lisicky manages to be both at the same time.”
—Elizabeth McCracken
