"This debut collection of stories is a complicated love letter to Washington, DC, and to those who call it home: a TSA agent who's never flown, a girl braving new worlds to play piano, and a teacher caught up in a mayoral race. These characters navigate life's "training school"--with lessons on gentrification and respectability--and fight to create their own sense of space and self. Camille Acker's writing has appeared in Hazlitt and VICE, among others.
