Status Updates From Certain American States: St...

"Because You Have To": i liked the almost american gothic atmosphere, but it was just a whole bunch of nothing!

“Certain American States”: really liked this story but sometimes it feels like lacey uses overly complicated prose to hide the weaknesses in her narrative.

violations: had to read it a few times to get accustomed to the voice. but when it clicked, it clicked. some fascinating ruminations on auto fiction and moving on from a relationship.

ur heck box: really love lacey’s prose, but this story felt so aimless. maybe that’s the point? the portrayal of grief was very poignant though.
