Phoning Home is a collection of autobiographical essays by Jacob Appel, published in 2014 by the University of South Carolina Press.[1] The collection won the New Haven Prize in 2014[2] and a finalist for the Housatonic Book Award in 2015.[3]
Girija Sankar, reviewing the volume for New Pages, wrote that "Phoning Home is a worthy addition to the pantheon of great American essays and Appel proves himself to be an astute observer and chronicler of the modern human condition."[8] Bryan Monte in Amsterdam Quarterly wrote, "What makes Appel’s essays so interesting and unique is his candid, statistical or professional approach and/or non-melodramatic description of his relatives’ experience."[9]
