The seventeen stories in Lee Upton’s Visitations often center around books--as art objects, as lost objects, as points of contention, as inspiration. “Night Walkers” tells the story of the world’s laziest book club; “A Story’s End” follows a woman’s search for the last book read by her mother before her death; “Gods and Goddesses in Art and Legend” explores the ways in which a character's childhood reading shapes her adulthood. In other stories, a woman falls in love with Edgar Allan Poe’s discarded suit, a “stalker” attempts to redeem herself, a shadow demands that a child cut off the other hand of Captain Hook, and a man comes to believe that “The Turn of the Screw” is actually about himself.
