June loves stories-and not just the kind you find in books, but stories you dream up of overheard conversations, family secrets, whatever was left unsaid the last time you hung up the phone. She collects them, hoards them, and then transforms them into fiction. Her immediate gifts, then, are a sharp eye and quick ear-making her a kind of spy, voyeur, but also a guardian angel. She sees but she also sees through. She's vigilant but she's also tender. Writing about the blood and mystery under life's surfaces puts her in the current of some of the best writing being done today. This is fiction that's lean, somewhat tight-lipped, un-flashy, and careful. It's built on suggestion, not statement. And it pays no more attention to plot than ordinary life seems to do. June's writing is of this strain, but there's a difference-a difference built up from her deeper gift. That gift is empathy. June's writing rises in power because she's down in the skin along with her characters. Mining the covenants and conspiracies of ordinary life, she's not at all detached. She's a participant. Someone who's been there-and hence understands. -Paul Evans

"The fact is, June Akers Seese refuses to lie. When her eye lights on something, she arrests it with a photographic infallibility that is simply breathtaking. She writes Hemingway's best declarative sentence through the lens of Kafka and the searing elegance of Joan Didion. Yet, on top of everything, she manages to be very, very funny-often excruciatingly so. Some Things Are Better Left to Saxophones, her latest novel, embodies vintage Seese and her all-too-human, all-too-like-us, unforgiving domestic landscape: inside our houses, insides our heads, inside our hearts." -Joseph Bathanti, Professor of Creative Writing and Co-Director of the Visiting Writers Series at Appalachian State University In this novel, June Akers Seese writes of two retired Detroit teachers and their retarded daughter, Melody, who lives with them and works at a downtown hotel folding napkins and polishing tabletops. Melody's sisters and brother have moved on. One sister to Japan to study languages and literature; another to a boarding house on the Wayne State University campus where she collects Master's degrees that go nowhere and earns her living as a sometimes waitress. Their brother has fled to Alaska where land is cheap and his carpentry skills valued. All approaching 40, these offspring have no plans to marry or return home. They are all trapped in a dream of escaping the responsibility of Melody when their parents die.
