Utter Goodness

Utter Goodness nosily peers into strangers’ cars on 95 and daydreams about the Americana bleakness of the Rust Belt... Each story experiments with form, from entire paragraphs caged in parentheses to italicized dialogue that glides like airport conveyor walkways. The result is energetic, concise, and acrobatic. Audrey chalks her hands and always sticks the landing.
— Anna Krivolapova, author of Incurable Graphomania

Thirteen short stories spanning the country—from East Coast to West, from New York City to backwater counties—await you in Utter Goodness. Beasts, birds, murder, muscles, Soviets, and swans sing in chorus: Audrey Lee’s characters face religion, love, and judgement in every state of the nation and in every state of grace.
