"How does power become a currency, and what happens to the people who view their life through the lens of power structures? What are the unspoken rules that govern lives here, and what happens when those rules are broken?"
The award-winning author, Leslie Pietrzyk, chats about her latest book, working with small presses, and leaving the city she loves.
"I like to write in a way that challenges established lines of thinking. I like to take a broad subject—say, power—and examine the tricky angles, the truths we don’t always want to acknowledge."
Leslie Pietrzyk spoke to Nicole Schaller of District Fray Magazine about her new collection of stories 'Admit This to No One'.
Leslie Pietrzyk’s latest novel “Admit This to No One” holds nothing back about the District’s hunger for power. Through fiction, the Drue Heinz Literature Prize winning author examines the inner workings and dynamics of D.C.’s powerful political families. Set to release on November 9 and a...
"It’s a tour de force from a gifted writer."
Leslie Pietrzyk's 'Admit This to No One' is one of Washington Post's 10 Books to Read this November!

A review by Asymptote Journal:
"'Milk Teeth' is a novel with a lingering taste, one that weighs on the soul. It asks introspection of us, drawing attention to the cataclysms that daunt our own world even through the imagined, fictive realm. It advocates for responsibility instead of blindness, knowledge instead of ignorance, and in the realization of the fact that there may no longer be easy answers for our problems, it holds up a mirror so that we may confront our worst instincts." 🥀

Copeland Cane V, the child who fell outta Colored People Time and into America, is a fugitive... He is also just a regular teenager coming up in a terrifying world. A slightly eccentric, flip-phone loving kid with analog tendencies and a sideline hustling ...
"Reading 'Rude Talk in Athens' is like taking an epic tour of Greek drama and politics with an irreverent expert in the driver’s seat. Smith [speaks] about fame, the political power of comedy, and why oral s*x is tantamount to revolution."—Tobias Carroll for the Los Angeles Times

Mark Haskell Smith on his latest book, "Rude Talk in Athens," about an obscure ancient Greek playwright and comedy as a form of revolution.
"In a conversation with Oakland-based writer Keenan Norris about his new novel, 'The Confessions of Copeland Cane,' there is agreement that deep listening is a complex, underrated skill." -- East Bay Express
https://eastbayexpress.com/a-strange-alchemy-keenan-norris-brings-deep-listening-dystopia-and-hope-in-latest-novel/
"Norris says important themes in the novel—such as micro and macro time spans, social protest, anti-Blackness history, the perils of miseducation and the dramatic conflicts often generated in public spaces—are vastly important, but never preempts his central concerns of creating compelling chara...
