Seeing this sign, on the unit block of K Street NW, reminded me of the books set in DC, written by George Pelecanos. A couple weekends ago I read Drama City, which was lent to me by Frozen Tropics. There is a rote sameness to the structure of the various novels, but I still like the descriptions of the city, the versimilitude... there may be more truth to the books, and the revised by graffiti sign than we want to acknowledge.
