Her books have been translated into French, Italian, Spanish, Dutch & German. She was born in Mississippi and is based in Chicago. CERTAIN AMERICAN STATES is her first story collection.With a spare but poetically concentrated style, Catherine Lacey vividly captures the addled, bombed-out, wryly fuzzy perspectives of her lost and drifting characters. These are stories of mystery and brooding, wintry beauty
