Abstract Details

2014, Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing, Youngstown State University, Northeast Ohio Master of Fine Arts (Creative Writing).
This collection of short stories analyzes relationships within the domestic sphere. These relationships range from the romantic to the biological, yet they always act as a barrier to the protagonist's search for identity. The narratives explore the way in which humans interact with their personal space and an outside world that inevitably encroaches on it. Through a variety of fiction subgenres—including fabulism, magical realism, speculative fiction, folk tale, and absurdist comedy—the question is posed: "How does one maintain an identity in the face of a constantly unstable world?"
