The Alice Stories by Jesse Lee Kercheval

“Over the course of 10 beautifully shaped, deeply moving, funny, and utterly surprising linked stories, Kercheval, in prose as sparkling as snow in sunlight, considers how quickly things can stop making sense and how sustaining goodness truly is.”— Booklist

“I always seem to enjoy fiction from the University of Nebraska Press. . . . Add The Alice Stories to the list. It is well crafted, enjoyable storytelling that addresses thought provoking themes and serves as an often poignant reminder of the sometimes tragic, often fleeting, but still joyful nature of life.”—Kevin Holtsberry, CollectedMiscellany.com
