Abstract Details

2012, Master of Arts, Miami University, English.
Each short story in my thesis collection takes place in either Bangkok or Detroit. These juxtaposed urban landscapes—the burgeoning Asian city vs. the struggling Midwestern American city—combined with varying narrative points of view, are the key elements in these stories’ attempts to understand the barriers that exist within communities. These might include age gaps, language barriers, or cultural/racial differences. The cities serve as examples of expansive communities confronted with significant socio/economic change. Even so, the narratives themselves focus on mini-facets of the larger urban populations. The stories focus primarily on the exiles of these communities—those who have been, in one way or another, expelled from the group.
