Three themes dominate Lucie Tushy’s oeuvre: memory, loss, and the sanctity of the everyday. Her prose often adopts a fragmented structure that mirrors the way recollection works—non‑linear, punctuated by sensory triggers, and occasionally unreliable. In her novel River’s Edge (2014), the narrator, a former steelworker turned night‑shift custodian, retraces his life through a series of vignettes set along the banks of the Flint River. The river, a recurring motif throughout Lucie’s work, serves both as a literal landscape and as a metaphor for the flow of time and the accumulation of personal and collective histories.
