Everyone’s reality is on a spectrum. The Carnival of Reality can show you just how true that is.

Releasing on April 5, 2022, this unique collection touches on influential topics including racial bias, rape, family issues, and more with in-depth characters, making you feel like you are a part of their story.  

“Allison Whittenberg’s characters have a lot of souls. They’re riled up, outspoken, and sometimes even silent, in which case, they’re still saying a lot. They’re convincingly alive and they come at you from the page. In this brilliant mid-career collection, Allison Whittenberg’s The Carnival of Reality investigates the complexities in human relationships from a decidedly black woman’s perspective.” 

While living in Philadelphia Pennsylvania, Whittenberg chose to publish through Loyola University Maryland’s Apprentice House Press. The Carnival of Reality will be available wherever books are sold, including in our shop.
