Abstract Details

2011, Master of Fine Arts (MFA), Bowling Green State University, Creative Writing/Fiction.
A Girl Without Arms and Other Monsters is a collection focused around the notion of the monstrous, and considering whether or not the monster is a nightmare, a dream deferred, or the realization of one’s desires. Most stories explore themes of sexuality, feminism, violence, strange bodies, family and one’s place in it and transformation. Many of the stories use fairy tale conventions or fairy tale themes, while others play on traditional ideas of what it means to be a woman, and how when she is labeled a monster she can either bow before the notion, or revel in it.
