Brien Piechos lives and writes in Minneapolis, MN, which is a shit hole now.

"I have to say that this is one of the most disturbing things I have ever read. Mr. Palahniuk himself must have cringed a few times while reading this one. Brien Piechos is seriously twisted and wonderfully talented. His writing is masterful, his imagery horrifying. This was a hard story to get through, I really had to force myself, but also in the end maybe my favorite in the collection. This is quintessential transgressive fiction. Just remember, you can't unread it." - SF Reader

Quotes by Brien Piechos  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“Besides, what's in a name? Actually, a lot. Whether taken from a parent or grandparent, some saint, or even the late great Elvis, your name insists another person's dream of what you should have been. The portrait of some ancestral ideal lingers through heirloom names. Gender specific names imply all sorts of expectations. More than just a signifier used to summon, instruct, address, accuse, sometimes praise us, our names define and thereby limit us. They put us in a cage.”
Brien Piechos, Burnt Tongues
