About the Book:

At The Diner in Heaven, they’re serving up Bubbie’s chicken soup, cigs, abandoned malls, roller skates, Tastycakes, 7-11s, exes, homemade bullets, and the feeling of constantly being angled by boys, some of them pretending to be men. Levine’s crisp, intimate prose is—much like an Edward Hopper painting—saturated with loneliness and suggestion. These stories feel like sharing fries with a friend at midnight, leaning in for the whispered secret that will change you both. - Annie Liontas, Sex With a Brain Injury

About the Author:

Tracey Levine grew up in northeast Philadelphia and teaches creative writing and film courses at Arcadia University in Glenside, PA where she coordinates the creative writing program for undergraduates. Her creative writing work has appeared in many journals such as Crack the Spine, Streetlight Voices, the anthology Broken Skyline, she has a chapbook with The Head and The Hand Press, and was included in Best Stories of Philadelphia from Toho publishing in 2021. She is the creator and former co-host of the Philadelphia reading series The Hatchery. She is also a dedicated yogi and yoga instructor who plays competitive darts.
