“Silverman’s language is, by turns, blunt, wrenching, sophisticated, lyrical, tender, hilarious. She writes with wicked dark humor, splendid intelligence, wry wit, and honest confrontation. There’s no other book quite like it.”

—Lee Martin, author of From Our House and Such a Life

“Reading The Pat Boone Fan Club feels like sitting down for coffee with a long-lost friend. Silverman reveals the heights that skillful and innovative memoir can achieve.”

—Hope Edelman, author of Motherless Daughters

“Filled with warmhearted humor and profound compassion, this tour de force exploration of the search for identity is a joy to behold.”

—Kaylie Jones, author of Lies My Mother Never Told Me

“Silverman is the Tennessee Williams of memoir.”

—Robert Vivian, author of The Least Cricket of Evening
