What They're Saying
Critics Review
“Peter Plate is the bard of San Francisco’s jails and residence hotels. Plate’s mastery of atmosphere is matched [in Soon the Rest Will Fall] by a remarkable empathy for his characters, whose greatest crimes, inevitably, are perpetrated in their helpless emotional abuse of one another.” –San Francisco Magazine
“[Peter Plate is] a master of the omniscient form; he makes his narrative float seamlessly among the characters.” –Olivia Boler, Foreword Magazine
