"Poignant, exquisite, and endlessly witty" -- Kirkus Review (Starred Review)
"People--the species defies logic " reflects the protagonist of one of the dazzling, intricate stories in Visitations. In this latest collection from Lee Upton, characters navigate often bewildering situations, from the homeschooled girl trying to communicate telepathically with an injured man she finds on the beach to the experimental theater troupe (called the Community Playas) composed primarily of actors the story's narrator has wronged or been wronged by. Upton's stories frequently draw inspiration from books--books as art objects or lost objects, as inspiration or points of contention. "Night Walkers" tells the story of the world's laziest book club, while "A Story's End" follows a woman's search for the last book read by her mother before her sudden death. Elsewhere, the ghosts of literature and writers past haunt the characters' present: "The Tell-All Heart" sees a woman falling in love with Edgar Allan Poe's discarded suit, and an unruly, unpredictable shadow creeps in a child's window to demand that he cut off the other hand of Captain Hook in "A Shadow." In the surreal yet playful tradition of Karen Russell and George Saunders, Visitations brings together seventeen incandescent short stories from a writer at the height of her powers.--Emily NaginBinding Type: Hardcover

So far so good!
Color: Silver+Brush Holder
It’s only been about a week since I applied it, seems sturdy enough, and the adhesive was sticky enough that it seems secure. I use very hot water to wash dishes due to illnesses and it’s held up well to the heat of the kitchen thus far using just adhesive. Good buy!

Suction cups aren’t the best
Color: Black+Smiley Face
The suction cups don’t hold and my smiley sponge isn’t snug on the post so it sometimes falls off.
