Silence of the Government Funding by Daniel Boris




New book column on local authors at WCP

I don't know if they'll include cartoonists and graphic novelists.

From their newsletter:

At Washington City Paper, we've always celebrated D.C.'s vibrant arts and culture scene. And although we've long covered literary news and happenings, we've never had a dedicated column for these topics. Until now.

Earlier this month, we debuted Spot LIT from literary contributor Hannah Grieco. You may have noticed Hannah's byline before; she's been a City Paper contributor since 2019 and also writes for an array of national publications in addition to her day job teaching creative writing and literature to college students. 

Once a month, Spot LIT will feature interviews with local authors, reviews and discussions of local books, and info on upcoming literary events. You'll also find Hannah's musings on local literature that serve both rebellious and restorative purposes, a duality she admires across D.C.'s wider art scene. 

In the debut column, Hannah has rounded up a handful of 2024's best reads from writers based in the DMV, as well as some festive books that might make nice gifts this season.
