HOMEFRONT/PRETTY MUCH TRUE…

Pretty Much True…, formerly (and once again) titled Homefront, is in the process of being re-released, one way or another.

PRAISE FOR HOMEFRONT/PRETTY MUCH TRUE…

Kristen J. Tsetsi tells a war story unlike anything readers have experienced. She flips the narrative on its head and tells the story from the perspective of those left at home. The novel is no less harrowing, no less raw and no less intense.The real, human emotion that Tsetsi captures makes her story one to which every reader can relate.” – Molly Callahan, Journal Inquirer

“Americans are getting a finer sense of who we are at an important time in our history because of the quality of literature from female writers with voices beautifully calibrated to sing out our zeitgeist. And this debut novel by the grandly-talented Kristen Tsetsi delivers the best kind of fiction – a story suffused with a brightness that shines truer than the truth.”James C. Moore, author of In the Time of Man and co-author of the New York Times bestseller Bush’s Brain: How Karl Rove Made George W. Bush Presidential

If there’s a war on (and these days, there’s usually a war on), I want to be reading about it. I appreciate first person accounts, either fictionalized or not, and Kristen Tsetsi’s Homefront…  is a worthy new entry in this category.” — Levi Asher, Literary Kicks

I was 100 pages into Homefront… before I looked up from the book.” –Steven McDermott, Editor, Storyglossia

“Homefront… is beautiful and stark. The protagonist’s voice–that of a young, heady woman–is so familiar, so real, so intimate that I can almost imagine it were my own, though I’ve never had anywhere close to the same experience.– Feministing

“In Homefront…, Kristen J. Tsetsi presents a searing examination of war and those who remain stateside. In terms of style, the novel is reminiscent of many works by Don DeLillo — most notably Players, Running Dog, and, for its emotional density, The Body Artist. Tsetsi’s talents shine throughout the novel, and she reveals herself to be the rare sort of writer who can satisfy both emotionally and intellectually.” – Small Press Reviews

“There are many novels about war, most from the battlefield where there’s page-turning tension and drama. But there are few stories written from the point of view of one back home. Perhaps that’s because so few have found an interesting way to write such a story, but that has changed, thanks to Kristen Tsetsi, author of Homefront… – Carol Hoenig, the Huffington Post
