Histria Perspectives is the nonfiction narrative imprint of Histria Books, publishing memoir, true crime, political writing, and personal history.
The catalog is anchored by some of its most prominent titles. Gitchie Girl and its follow-up Gitchie Girl Uncovered document one of the most disturbing crimes in Iowa history — a 1973 mass murder at a campsite — through victim testimony and investigative reporting. Ten Days That Shook My World is political memoir. A Land for the Free is reflective nonfiction about American identity across generations.
What holds the list together is a grounding in lived experience. These are reported books, remembered books, argued books — nonfiction with a strong narrative spine rather than the detached analysis of academic publishing. The writing is meant to be read, not consulted. All Histria Perspectives titles are distributed through Simon & Schuster and available in print and digital formats.
