The Great Indoors
(Musician/songwriter Terence Winch, author of Contenders a...)
Musician/songwriter Terence Winch, author of Contenders and Irish Musicians/American Friends, continues his unique, robust examinations of the American psyche. Winch was selected by Irish America magazine as one of the "Top 100 Irish Americans." Barbara Guest chose The Great Indoors as winner of the Columbia Book Award: "My selection for the 1996 Columbia Book Award is The Great Indoors by Terence Winch. I admire its atmosphere of the bitter-sweet, the expert sense of line, and its many subtle and humorous ways of Washington, D.C. I have lived in Washington and Winch understands the drift of those unenclosed by political boundaries, of the way day passes into night in that city. He has caught the essence of many moods, without exploiting them."

Contenders: short stories
(Chosen by Washingtonian magazine as the BEST WASHINGTON...)
Chosen by Washingtonian magazine as the BEST WASHINGTON BOOK YOU'VE NEVER HEARD OF: "In his underappreciated 1989 story collection Contenders, Terence Winch---better known as a poet and musician (he was a member of the local Irish band Celtic Thunder)---encapsulates twenty- and thirtysomething DC life in the 1970s and '80s. The authentic details―Dupont Circle group houses, live music at the Childe Harold, riding Metro when it was new―bolster these wry, unsentimental tales about the push-me-pull-you of relationships." --- The Washingtonian, December 2003.
