The Postcard Stories is a book of eight short stories and one novella written by Wisconsin author and pro bono conversationalist James Kuckkan. Some of the stories include an old astronaut saying goodbye to his hometown for the last time; a young professional working on St. Paddy's Day; a day in the life of a robot actor; a girl quitting her job at a liminal company; a film professor who's been exiled after being involved in an MKUltra intelligence operation; plus many more. They are simple, realist, Midwestern mythic stories that explore themes like the pursuit of a lifelong dream, loneliness, death, what it feels like to quit your job, and making art. Kuckkan and Co. Printing & Publishing is happy to present its first publication, and hopes the reader may find something of their own in this small book of stories.
