Abstract Details

2008, Master of Arts, Miami University, English: Creative Writing.
This collection of inverted love stories and wry tales of family and friendship explores the ways the political intersects with the everyday, especially when unexpected. Most of the narratives unfold from the perspectives of young women whose lives refuse to conform to any typical bourgeois standards of adulthood. These voice-driven stories are playful with their tone, language, and subjects, and they use humor and absurdity as a method of exploring serious issues of human connections and misconnections.
