Marianne Worthington’s essay focuses on the nonfiction writing and journalism of Silas House, dealing principally with his work on the environment and his writing for the country music industry. She specifically develops the thesis that the “storytelling style” of a writer like House lends itself well to creating the music industry press packets that House specialized in during the early years of his writing life and also to his writing about environmental issues. In the last decade, House has employed the same strategy to take on a range of other issues, including gender and social issues in the Appalachian region. The special talent and skills of a writer like House has made him a much sought after spokesman for these social issues, as House also continues to write and speak about music and the environment. |
