Agee's latest, a powerful collection of new and selected stories from Coffee House Press, is filled with stories that startle with passionate insight and graceful prose. She writes about characters who are afflicted with love, overwhelmed by desire, and unable to keep from crossing the line. Publishers Weekly describes the collection as "terse, edgy and explosive," praising her "flair for stunning conceits and turn-on-a-dime plotting." Funny, profound, and breathtakingly beautiful stories by a contemporary master.

Jonis Agee, a Nebraska native, is the author of ten books, including four novels and five collections of stories.

She is a Professor or English at the University of Nebraska — Lincoln.
