About the Quote

This quote may be taken as the credo for Laughing Fire Press. Founded in the traditions of social realism and naturalism, Laughing Fire Press owes a debt to such writers as Norris, Steinbeck, Chekov, Zola, Richard Wright, Upton Sinclair, Ibsen, Arthur Miller, and Dreiser. These authors told their truths about society, raising our awareness and concern about the social and economic forces that shape contemporary life.
