Pieczenik describes his fascination with 1950s American rock and roll, citing Little Richard and Chuck Berry as major influences. Growing up in Harlem, he was immersed in black blues and rhythm, which he felt represented the "real America" more than classical music. He later incorporated Cajun and Zydeco influences into his novels to bridge his American and French identities.
