Dana Lee's first book, Tuesday Market, is out.
The book collects 24 short essays about the street market where Lee grew up. Lee self-published it.
Lee printed 800 copies in July. So far, 600 have sold.
The work began on the first Sunday of January 2026, when Lee wrote the first essay at the kitchen table before work.
After that, Lee wrote one essay a week, every Sunday morning, and kept that rhythm for most of the year.
In April 2026, a friend who works as an editor sent Lee twelve pages of notes on the third essay. Lee did not write for five weeks.
Lee came back by rewriting one paragraph a day.
The last essay was done in May 2027. The book was printed two months later.
Lee's message to themself on that first Sunday:
