Richard Plinke's
Latest Release
Richard Plinke’s acerbic style and lucid imagination create an entertaining blend of intrigue and satire, as evidenced by this collection of 11, often dramatic and sometimes hilarious stories. Plinke’s touch for making the seemingly prosaic and unremarkable come to life in full, multicolor luminescence, with the volume turned up to 10, is on display from start to finish. Each story a gem, from the short and pointed “The Train,” to the long and engaging “It’s Not You, It’s Me,” and takes the reader on a wild ride through the trials, tribulations, and absurdities of the capricious nature of being.
These engaging tales will make you laugh and cry…and leave you wanting more.
House Arrest, Open Season
Covid-19: House Arrest! is Richard Plinke’s fourth book—and his funniest tightrope walk yet between laugh-out-loud satire and needle-sharp observation. Collected here are 48 short essays he wrote during lockdown, when shifting “expert” advice and bare-knuckle politics collided on our screens and in our living rooms. Plinke pokes at the contradictions, tells the truth as he sees it, and somehow keeps it light enough to read in one sitting—or twelve.
If the pandemic era made you roll your eyes, this book will make you laugh with them. And in classic Plinke fashion, he leaves you with one irreverent takeaway: trust is in short supply—even in the mirror.
