The Definitive Guide To The Downfall Of P&W, Alice M. Anigacz

English Honors Projects

This honors thesis is a fictional work that tells of the downfall of P&W DNA. It utilizes multiple narrators, including a blonde bombshell, a deceptive recent P&W hire, and a rabbit, to show how a combination of flawed personalities led to the demise of a corrupt DNA testing company. The plot mostly follows Aaron Kelley, a P&W-agent-cum-detective, who is attempting to avenge his partner’s death by taking down gubernatorial candidate Lyle Saunders. Combining elements of classic noir with a modern comical tone and a mixture of voices, this work asks the question: does the truth really matter?
