LinkLinks City Paper: The Fiction Issue 2018 By Editor On Jan 3, 2019 31 Share We asked you for fiction firmly rooted in D.C.—stories that brought us into neighborhoods, and that weren’t just about the District, but of it. Nearly 50 writers answered the call with entries that had strong common themes connecting them. Writing fiction can be a means of reckoning on the page with what confounds us in reality. Your entries provided insight into issues weighing heavily on our collective minds. Gentrification, climate change, Metro meltdowns, the search for housing that feels like home, the search for a kindred soul to connect with. The tales snuck us into a Georgetown mansion, ushered us into a pew in a Petworth church, and sat us on the sidelines of Shaw basketball courts. All with nary a congressperson in sight.
