Clean Package

The Clean Package: A Pioneer Assemblage (2023) is the Mormon- and family-friendly version of The Crown Package: A Personal Anthology (2022). Both books are an award-winning hybrid essay and short story collection anthologizing fifteen years of Foster's exploration and experimentation as a Millennial writer and storyteller. Blurring boundaries of fiction and nonfiction, narratives roam from his inherited Mormon roots in Idaho and Utah to strange and new landscapes in Alabama, Arizona, California, Texas, New York City, where Foster reports on and fictionalizes his postmodern Pioneer life in the ever-evolving American West.
