CURTIS SMITHSOUND + NOISE
CASPERIAN BOOKS
"Only occasionally do I read a novel where the characters remain like old friends long after the title and plot have faded away. Curtis Smith creates such characters in Sound + Noise. Jackie and Tom are burdened with the grief and fate of a superb fictional plot, and yet they are real. I felt as though I lived in their town and watched them long before their paths crossed. Combine this visceral reality with poetic descriptions and a good deal of humor, and you find Curtis Smith's novel, a heart-rending exploration of love and loss, residing somewhere between fiction and life." - Lisa Carey, author of Every Visible Thing
"In Sound + Noise, Curtis Smith identifies, examines, and prods the boundaries we create for ourselves, dramatizing complex human beings struggling against the confines of their pasts in order to create their lives anew. His prose is both exacting and evocative; his vision displays a mind willing to take on the moral ambiguities of our day. The result is a masterly portrait of the way we live now." - Kirby Gann, author of Our Napoleon in Rags
