Letters to the Editor

This letter is associated with the following article:
Our famously divided capital has produced novels about white people in power and novels about everyone else. Explore the best of both worlds with Henry Adams and George Pelecanos.
  • Don't forget Christopher Buckley!

    Christopher Buckley's novels, which include "Thank You For Smoking," "No Way to Treat a First Lady," and "Little Green Men," perfectly capture (and satirize) life in the capital. I was born in D.C., as was my father, and know well the lawyers, lobbyists, legislators, bureaucrats, reporters, and social climbers who make this city what it is. Chris Buckley exaggerates less than you'd think, and he does it with love.
