What They're Saying
Critics Review
“With little fanfare or support, against the real life backdrop of police sweeps of the homeless and the start of the dot-com boom, Plate has produced a shelf of books that represent a lonely, yet noble and deeply radical literary effort to write noir crime fiction in which the criminals, not the cops, are the protagonists. Taken as a whole, they offer a compelling and defiant portrait of the psychic toll the disappearance of loved people, places, and opportunity from the city has taken on those left behind.” –San Francisco Bay Guardian
“I found a certain sweetness to the telling of Peter Plate’s walk on the San Francisco wild side.” –Alan Cheuse, All Things Considered
“Through vivid detailing of both his characters and the city of San Francisco, Plate brings conflict to life with skillful precision and undeniable poignancy.” –Rain Taxi
“Plate creates a poetry of the street.” –The Willamette Week
