Our reviews of Lee K. Abbott's work

The takes

What we have said about Lee K. Abbott

  • Lee K. Abbott's career-spanning story collection. One of the great American short story writers of the late 20th century, finally collected.

  • A round-robin golf novel with Lee K. Abbott, Tim O'Brien, James Crumley, Tami Hoag, Dave Barry, and others. Whimsical, uneven, occasionally brilliant.
