Periel Aschenbrand

Periel Aschenbrand, critically acclaimed author of ON MY KNEES (out now), has been called “the Lady Gaga of Literature” by Touré, and Leslie Arfin, senior writer for Girls, raves, "If truth in comedy is my mantra, then the goddess I pray to is Periel Aschenbrand." Aschenbrand found a national audience with her first book, THE ONLY BUSH I TRUST IS MY OWN, and her work has appeared in publications worldwide including The New York Times, The Washington Post, V Magazine, Interview and Observer UK. She is a comedian at heart, writing mostly nonfiction based on her life and the lives of those close to her, and is known for her quick wit and ample doses of truth, humor and obscenity. She is the Creative Director of House of Exposure. (Photo credit: Michael Webber.)
