Silas House’s new novel takes on universal themes
K

BY KIM THOMAS
entucky author Silas House first learned that language has power while “sitting on the porch with my parents and aunts and uncles, hearing them tell stories that brought the past alive.” Lee Smith describes his latest work, Southernmost, as “A spiritual journey, a love story, and a classic road novel . . . With its themes of acceptance and equality, Southernmost holds a special meaning for America right now, with relevance even beyond its memorable story.”
From Kim Davis to social media viciousness to My Morning Jacket, it’s a contemporary story that means to poke us in the right places. It takes on the American search for reconciliation between old ways and new ways. New Testament believers will be thrilled to experience the emotional and intellectual journey of a southern Evangelical preacher who seeks to make amends with embers from his past in the wake of a Biblical level flood. Asked about the implications of the title, he says, “I like it when a title is mysterious until the book has been read, and then it makes perfect sense. The title means several things. Most obvious is that it’s set in Key West, which is the southernmost point in the contiguous United States. But the title is also a reference to how I think the South is a microcosm of the entire nation whereas a lot of the country would think of it more as The Other. Writing about The South is interesting because everyone has a preconceived
notion of this region more than any other, so it’s always intriguing to challenge some of those notions and expand ideas of humanity.” With the compelling main character a preacher, has House ever considered a pastoral path? “I grew up in a very strict Holiness church and in our community the highest reverence was reserved for preachers,” he says, adding “I think it would have thrilled my parents if I had gone into the ministry, but they never pressured me into that. I think there are many ways to be kind and show compassion and writing is one of those because to me the most essential ingredient of being a writer—or any kind of artist—is to be empathetic. As a writer, I always want to be of service. In this novel I really wanted to get under the skin of a preacher and show him evolving and doubting and believing in ways we’re not used to preachers being shown.” Of the novel’s universal themes, House says, “the impetus for the book was asking how far my main character would go to protect his child, and that’s something that all parents have thought about in one way or another. I think it’s my best book because it does have such propulsion because of that
question, but also because I wanted every sentence to really shine.” Silas House will be reading and signing Southernmost June 7 at Brier Books in Lexington. Full interview at aceweekly.com

BIRDS OF A FEATHER New movie revisits the Transy Heist and regrets and redemption
By Joshua Caudill
“C Y
ou can’t just drop in on the Farris Rare Book Room at Transylvania University. A librarian must accompany you; there’s a code just to access the door; and visits are by appointment only. There’s a reason for that. It’s home to a multi-million dollar collection that includes Audubon’s Birds of America, Darwin’s On the Origin of Species, and books with a provenance that dates back to kings. But on December 17, 2004, the Rare Book Room served as the setting for its own story when it became the target of four college students trying to pull off what is now known as the “Transy Book Heist.” Warren Lipka, Spencer Reinhard, Eric Borsuk, and Charles “Chas” Allen, were college students who concocted a scheme that went on to involve rare books, multiple disguises, Reservoir Dogs aliases, an esteemed New York auction house, a minivan, and a longform profile in Vanity Fair. Sounds like a movie, right? It is. “This is not based on a true story. This is a true story,” reads the opening card of the upcoming film American Animals opening in June 2018.
6 | June 2018
ollege is a fantasy. It’s the place where people sip red cups. It’s not even a real place,” Warren Lipka says. The man often described as the “ringleader” of the infamous 2004 Transy heist told us in a recent interview, “Every day, I try to hold to those ideals, because it’s way more grounding than the alternative. It’s about striving to be something different and not letting something define you. I’m in a happy place and I hope that somebody watches [American Animals] and says, ‘Hey, we’ve got a friend like Spencer, like Warren or Chas or Eric’ —or some connection where people are able to stop each other from doing something crazy.”
W
arren Lipka, Spencer Reinhard, Eric Borsuk, and Charles “Chas” Allen, were college students (one at Transy, three at UK) in 2004. They were good kids from good families who concocted an implausible plan whose scope stretched from the Bluegrass to New York and even Amsterdam. “We all love a heist movie,” American Animals director Bart Layton told us in an interview shortly before the film’s national release. But far from a college caper, Layton saw it as a story of young lost men desperately searching for an identity. “We now live in a culture where our value in the world is connected to our notoriety. They were living the American Dream. Their parents had nice houses, they had nice cars in the driveway, lovely comfortable lives —but for them, that was mediocrity rather than success.” Eric recalls,“We were approached by a lot of filmmakers who wanted to turn this into something similar to the movie 21. We turned people down. We felt like we had a story to tell, something to say, and wanted it as raw and honest as possible.” “It’s agonizing,” Warren says. “It’s the worst thing I’ve ever done. I hope that somebody can see something in this because it’s a brutal exercise.” He adds, “When you’re working on that type of delusion and crazy, you’re so far gone at that point...It’s how radicals think and it’s how perspective is lost.” Chas says, “I feel like they did a good job at not glamorizing and not glorifying what actually happened, and they just told a story in
a way that also humanizes what we experienced.” Spencer admits, “It’s not something I enjoy talking about or remembering, but it’s a story that is relatable to a lot of people and can have a positive impact on others.” A Transy employee who was working the day the events took place told us, “One thing this has done has made me question our use of tragedy for entertainment.” Spencer is optimistic about a better outcome. He says, “I hope people come away with the feeling that we are different people and that they see we paid heavily for what we did and that I feel remorse and regret. Hopefully, people can connect to the story and can learn from this huge mistake we made in our lives.” Eric adds, “We felt our story had something important to say in terms of society, modern American society, post 9/11, Gen Y kids with what we were going through trying to find our identity,” Eric said. “I think everyone in their life experiences this desire to rebel and put it all behind and run away. I think people can connect with that, but at the same time, this serves as a cautionary tale.” t’s mentally hard to go back to this,” Eric says, “but for whatever reason, I rationalized it. I rationalized it by [thinking], ‘As long as I don’t have to be in the room when it’s happening, I can somehow keep pushing this fantasy along further.’ That’s originally what it was—a fantasy...No one thought it was actually going to happen.” He recalls the surrealism of being in
the Rare Book Room at Transy, “I felt like at that point, when that happened, my life just switched train tracks,” Eric said. “There was a life before that moment and a life after that moment.” For Warren, 87 months was a good amount of time to say he’s sorry and he knows with American Animals hitting theaters that people will form opinions of him, and they won’t all be kind. It’s all worth it, because he got one thing out of the movie that he wasn’t expecting. During the Sundance Film Festival’s post premiere Q and A, director Bart Layton told the audience that Transy Librarian B.J. Gooch had glimpsed a more empathetic view of how lost the boys were through the movie footage the filmmakers had shown her. Warren says, “She was able to get some peace and get some closure from it and hearing that, man…hearing that was the most rewarding thing.”
SPENCER
There was no trial. Everyone pleaded guilty. After being arrested in February of 2005, Spencer wasn’t sentenced until December that same year, and wouldn’t begin to serve his sentence until January 2006. More than a decade earlier, Spencer had been “discovered” as an artist in kindergarten, when he drew a near perfect representation of a stuffed

The Reinhard family

FEATURE owl on the teacher’s desk for an art assignment. Nearly 20 years later, Spencer would find himself completing art projects inside the confines of his prison cell. He was transferred from Kentucky to a New Jersey prison in 2008. The painting program was better there. He had more time and room to work on larger projects. Eventually he became the instructor for the class, and he now works as an artist. Spencer still gets asked to this day, “Why?” Why would a talented artist and a college soccer player find himself spending the majority of his 20s behind bars? It was never about money. The theory the film raises is the need for a life altering moment. “Rather than [life] going down this easy, winding path, all of a sudden, you’re falling off a cliff, so I was kind of blind to the consequences and the selfishness in ignoring how it was going to affect other people,” adding, “It’s been a number of years since I got out and I’ve put a lot of dedication into trying to make up for that.” Would life have worked out the way it has for him — successful artist, proud husband and father — if he hadn’t gone to prison? “It’s a complicated issue,” he says. “I’m very happy now. I have a happy family and a beautiful daughter and wife and a lot to be thankful for so it’s hard to regret something that has led me to this place but at the same time, I regret that I could have been capable of something like that and hurting innocent people, and hurting my family.”
S
teve and Anita Reinhard were hurt, anguished even. At a time when most parents were packing their kids up for their next college semester, Steve and Anita spent Christmas of 2005 consumed by the prospect of dropping their son off at the prison in Ashland, Kentucky where he would begin to serve his seven-and-a-half-year sentence. Later, when other parents might have been contemplating their collegeage kids transferring to another school, Spencer was instead transferred to a New Jersey prison, 11 hours away. Their visits dwindled from a few times a month to a few times a year. Like a son checking in for curfew, Spencer still called his parents every Sunday night and every Thursday night. While locked away, he missed his
aceweekly.com
sister’s high school graduation, college graduation, and every holiday. Anita told his siblings, “You can’t get married until he’s out.” She smiles slightly at the joke, but notes the fact that neither sibling married until Spencer was released. Today, going from room to room in the Reinhards’ comfortable home in a quiet suburb on Lexington’s southside, the walls are a shrine to their son’s artwork. Near the couch where the couple sat for their interview in American Animals, is the portrait Spencer did of his grandparents. “What was so amazing about his stay in prison is that he didn’t waste his time,” Steve tells us. They plan to go watch the film in a theater. They hope that the audience, and Lexington, especially, will have some understanding. “I hope that they see that even if a kid makes a mistake, he served his debt to society and now he’s moved on, he’s a good citizen, husband and a dad,” Anita said. “He didn’t let it ruin his life.”
ERIC
None of the Borsuks saw it coming. No one did. Eric recalls his sister crying at the jail when his family arrived. Before the arrest, Eric would seek solitude in the in the basement of their bungalow where they had stashed away the stolen books. He found some relief as he leafed through the pages of the old manuscripts. He’d read Darwin’s section about these creatures in Kentucky who reverted back into the caves and without the need for vision, evolved with empty eye sockets. Darwin referred to them as, “American Animals.”
The former high school soccer standout who had dreams of majoring in accounting and later joining the FBI, found himself in a prison alongside his two best friends, Warren and Spencer, just four days before his 21st birthday. Warren says, “I remember sitting in Lexington Green and going to Joseph Beth Bookstore and Eric and I would make lists of all of the literary giants and everything we wanted to read and when we were in — we took [those] lists with us and we chipped away at them… We’d sit and discuss almost like a book club but much more intimate. The only thing to do was to work out and read. It was a very constructive first few years.” While incarcerated, Eric resumed his childhood passion—writing. He’d always loved it, but when he was at
“I felt like at that point, when that happened, my life just switched train tracks,” Eric said. “There was a life before that moment and a life after that moment.” Lexington Catholic, soccer became the top priority. In prison, those two priorities were reversed. Prisoners were only permitted to have five books in their cell at a time, but he estimates he had 50 at any given time. After years of feeling misrepresented or misunderstood by his hometown Lexington media, Eric is now working as a writer in California with a memoir on the way and plans for a novel. He’s anxious for the film to tell the real story — so their families can know what happened, for others to understand and get something positive out of it.
WARREN
Eric Borsuk at the NYC premiere
Warren, a charismatic character, was often dubbed the “ringleader” of the Transy Book Heist, a concept the movie plays up. Warren sees himself more like “the ridiculous face of the operation.” Upon release, he worked while he earned his bachelor’s and master’s degree at Temple University, and is now pursuing filmmaking.
Surrounded by “convicts and gangbangers” at a prison he describes as “gladiator school,” Warren screamed at the TV as his younger brother Josh, a University of Louisville soccer player, played in the national championship. The optics weren’t lost on the former collegiate soccer player, now reduced to watching his brother on ESPN from behind bars. But Warren had grown accustomed to missing out on special things—birthdays, Christmases, weddings, and even funerals.
Warren Lipka at the NYC premiere “Every day,” he says, “I try to make myself better and achieve something that people would be proud of,” adding, “I can’t stress enough, the impact of talking with people who will never leave prison, who will be there until they die.” He says, “I think it changed me for the better.”
T
he movie opens in June. Is it tragedy? Is it entertainment? Critics and audiences will find some of both. Ultimately, the Transy Book Heist crew found salvation. Going into prison as boys, they came out redeemed men with a new chance and a new perspective. By discussing this existential journey they set out on nearly 15 years ago for an audience, they’re making their peace with their own kind of graduation day. American Animals opens in theaters in June 2018. Full interviews at aceweekly.com.

FOOD by Tom Yates
Time for Tomatoes!
I’ve done the cheesecloth-lined drippity drip pure tomato water thing. While it’s a great way to capture the essence of tomatoes, it takes a very long time (up to 24 hours) for the magic to happen. Drip...drip...drip. To harness the same essence without all the fuss, I simply cored the tomatoes, sliced away the dried splitting seams, chopped the tomatoes into 1” pieces, pureed them in a blender (seeds and
peels), passed the puree through a fine mesh strainer, mashed the pulp to release every drop of tomato-ness, and set the jus aside. To whisk or not to whisk? Although emulsified creamy vinaigrettes are fine and dandy, they can be a bit heavy handed when dressing fresh summer tomatoes, so I kept it looseygoosey by opting for a broken vinaigrette. I combined 1/4 cup tomato jus with 1/4 cup white wine vinegar, 1 teaspoon local honey, and 1/2 cup olive oil. After adding a pinch of salt and ground white pepper, I gave the mix a gentle stir before flecking creamy bits of Bluegrass Chevre into the vinaigrette. Gorgeous heirlooms kissed with a fresh tomato-chevre vinaigrette. Vibrant summer sweetness. Soft bright acidity. Subtle creamy tang. Tomatoes on tomatoes. Fabulous.

How to make the vinaigrette BY TOM YATES
W
e’re still waiting for our heirloom tomato plants to mature and ripen. Coupled with our weird backyard micro-climate that slows growth, we planted our tomatoes late. Tucked behind nine foot high old wooden fences, we water our potted tomatoes, baby them, and wait. We wait and enjoy the fruits of the farmers’ market. While most of the tomatoes at the market are hydroponic or greenhouse grown this early in the season, some gorgeous vine ripened field grown heirloom varieties have started to arrive. Some accidents are happy accidents. Case in point? A simple little salad to take on the run for a snack between events. I tumbled diced cucumbers, tomatoes, and candy onions into a small disposable container. After drizzling them with extra virgin olive oil, I splashed the market vegetables with white wine vinegar before crumbling

fresh chevre over the top. Nothing fancy. No big deal. Here’s the deal, salads on the go get jostled around. By the time I got around to eating my marinated salad, the goat cheese had swirled through the olive oil and vinegar, creating an unexpected cheese-speckled vinaigrette for the cucumbers, tomatoes, and onions. A happy accidental win. As haphazard as it was, I’ve found that it works with any vinaigrette. Whether homemade or store bought, it just doesn’t matter. Fleck fresh chevre into a vinaigrette and let the creamy bits float around or whisk them into a creamy emulsion. The combination is unexpected and fantastic.
Heirloom Tomatoes with Tomato-Chevre Vinaigrette. While I fall for the pretty ones like most folks, I’m always lured by the siren song and drawn to the uglies. Happily serenaded and shipwrecked. The beasts and the beauties. The Beauties. After quartering/halving a few meaty Orange Persimmon, sugary Sun Gold, mellow Yellow Roma Banana Legs, smoky Chocolate Cherry, plummy Indigo Rose, and achingly ripe red Carmellow tomatoes, I tossed them with slivered candy onions before finishing with a scattering of fresh basil. The Beasts. Armed with a few “Uglies But Goodies,” I went full out tomato on tomato with a tomato vinaigrette.

Chloe might play a little too rough for a family with small children, but she would make a great playmate for older kids and she would do great in a family with another dog. If that sounds like you, come meet her at our Adoption Center today! Call 859.873.5491 to find out more about her. Photo by Regi Goffinet
