"If you care at all about the idealistic hopes that ran so strong in the 1960's, and grieve for the seemingly irrevocable losses of faith suffered since, Clay Center is your book. Phil Condon has given us a story dense with memorable characters acting out vivid and sometimes heartbreaking lives. A great read."

 — from William Kittredge, author of Owning It All and A Hole in the Sky

Montana Surround   

"Montana Surround is an important and intimate testimony to one man's quest for belonging. . . . Like the water he drills for and the rivers he walks beside, Condon's narratives offer both sustenance and solace. In stories personal yet universal--stories of love, loss, confusion, hope, and grief--Condon guides us through the natural world while wisely instructing us as to its fragility and care."
 — from Kim Barnes, author of In the Wilderness

River Street

"Phil Condon's debut story collection is a tour of life's harsh but ordinary mysteries: fatherless sons, childless mothers, errant travelers and unlikely lovers, all in search of filial shelter, emotional destinations, degrees of hope.

 — Richard Currey, author of Fatal Light, The Wars of H
