About this author

Joseph Riippi is the author of A CLOTH HOUSE and TREESISTERS, both forthcoming 2012. His other books include THE ORANGE SUITCASE (2011) and DO SOMETHING! DO SOMETHING! DO SOMETHING! (2009). He lives with his wife in New York City.


A Cloth House was beautifully reviewed by Thomas Michael Duncan at PANK:


A Cloth Housewill put a death grip on your heartstrings. It’s a mystery that unravels on every page and, above all, a beautiful examination of the way our lives and memories are shaped, by love and anguish, birth and death, blessings and tragedies.

I'll be in Seattle in July. Hopefully will be able to get something together at Elliott Bay or the like. Will certainly put the word out when I know. Hope to see you there.
