Abstract Details

2012, Master of Arts, Miami University, English.
This collection of short fiction is composed of six separate stories that are unified by place and time. Each story is set in the fictional town of Camelot, Ohio. This space is a fruitful place to investigate themes of normativity, judgment, deviance, freedom, greed, loneliness, fear, nostalgia and rebellion that structure and sometimes dictate the quotidian decisions of the characters. The stories are told from a third person perspective in order to experiment with the possible distances between two human psyches or subjectivities despite very close spatial proximity. Ultimately, my goal for the collection was to explore the tension between the uniquely American concept of individual determinism and the larger forces of history that have shaped the Midwestern landscape, and also, therefore, Midwesterners.
