Abstract Details

2015, Master of Fine Arts (MFA), Bowling Green State University, Creative Writing/Fiction.
This collection of stories explores parental and personal failures through themes of chaos, guilt, escape, and violence. The work largely consists of magical realist premises, with one distinct realist story, and a set of three fairy tales. In these stories, women face threats that are self-inflicted or placed upon them by an outside force: a mother kidnaps her children and goes into hiding; a Bigfoot impersonator is hunted by sportsman and the creature; a grown-up Dorothy chases the elusive tornado; a child goes missing on a family vacation; and a mother copes with reconstructing her son after he returns from war.
