Kudos for Porter Shreve

This week's City Paper featured a fine review of Porter Shreve's new novel, When the White House Was Ours. "Daniel, the adolescent narrator…, is growing up in interesting times: 1976, to be precise, the point when ’60s idealism begins to collide with the harsh realities of global economics and federal corruption," writes City Paper arts editor Mark Athitakis, who goes on to explore how Daniel's conflicts and decisions reveal something about the District's "split personality." The full review is available here. Shreve reads from When the White House Was Ours on Friday afternoon at 3:30 p.m. in the Provident Bank Tent on Mason's Fairfax Campus.
