Ryan Chapman on 'Riots I Have Known'

Ryan Chapman joins me to discuss his debut novel 'Riots I Have Known.'

An unnamed Sri Lankan inmate has barricaded himself inside a prison computer lab in Dutchess County, New York. A riot rages outside, incited by a poem published in The Holding Pen, the house literary journal. This, our narrator's final Editor's Letter, is his confession. An official accounting of events, as they happened.
