Christopher Sten - Literary Capital

Whether in the spotlight for its politics and power-brokers or serving as background for ordinary lives, Washington, D.C. has inspired writers from its earliest days. In this anthology of Washington-based literature, Sten, an English professor at George Washington University, has compiled poetry, letters, memoirs, and fiction by writers from Henry Adams to Gore Vidal, Frederick Douglass to Edward Jones, Walt Whitman to Sterling Brown, and many, many more.
