Cream City Disco, Lucas Flatt Apr 2013

Cream City Disco, Lucas Flatt

English Theses & Dissertations

Cream City Disco tells the story of Matt Bauer, a musician and IT employee unhappy in the rural south, who forms a hip-hop band with his aloof friends. Along for the ride is little sister Jasmine, whose dancing abilities put her on stage with her brother. Competing visions for this artistic enterprise and the increasingly sinister leadership of head MC Chuck Reya jeopardize Matt's aspirations and his relationship with Jazz, as interspersed accounts of Matt's forays into the digital realm of Lord-o-Landia bolster his courage for the telling.


Hush, Valerie Wilkinson Apr 2013

Hush, Valerie Wilkinson

English Theses & Dissertations

Hush explores the rural Pennsylvania landscape in seven short stories that strive to slice the characters open and take a brief, brutal look inside. Teenagers lounge on rocks and rattlesnakes twist in cages. Rivers freeze and houses speak. A hunter loses his family and a basketball star loses his shot. And a young girl learns about sex amidst a minefield of guilt and abuse. Story to story, the characters harbor secrets and shame as they search for forgiveness, for redemption, and for some precious measure of grace.


By The Limuru Road, Ann Barry Burrows Apr 2013

By The Limuru Road, Ann Barry Burrows

English Theses & Dissertations

The road to Limuru, Kenya runs beside a mission hospital named Nazareth; this much is true. In these fictional accounts, if the walls — even when topped by glass shards — can be breached by violence, if troubles come inside the gigantic gate, the characters nonetheless discover that compassion, too, can invade. As they care for the sick, they pay the personal costs of belonging to this high, green, misty ridge in Africa during the AIDS epidemic and the ascendancy of modern ways.

Open House, Tarah Gibbs

English Theses & Dissertations

Open House is a collection of short stories which explores the learning relationships between adults and children. Spanning gender and time, these stories depict the verities of the nature of children in conflict with the adult world. Each story recognizes that while emotional maturity may be the cornerstone of coming-of-age, grown-ups have just as much to learn from children.

Lowrider, Phil Quam

English Theses & Dissertations

Lowrider is a collection of interlinking short stories, adding up to a novelistic whole, which follows man in his late-20s, who is left paralyzed after a motorcycle accident. Set primarily in a Virginia Beach nursing home, but also in various locales around that city, the protagonist, nicknamed Youngblood by the members of his wheelchair gang, attempts to rehabilitate himself while confronted with the realities of age and isolation. Several themes are explored, including identity, love, permanence and transience, physical and emotional paralysis, and, ultimately, self-acceptance. The stories also aim to depict aspects of young adult life in America, when societal …

Phantom Islands A Collection Of Short Stories, Marie Buckner Mar 2013

Phantom Islands A Collection Of Short Stories, Marie Buckner

Dissertations and Theses

This collection of short stories takes its name from various islands historically believed to exist and at one time or other located on maps, sometimes remaining on them for centuries, but later removed after they were proved to be illusory. Reports of these islands usually came from sailors as they explored new realms, mistaking actual islands for imaginary ones or by geographical error. Illusions can persist unchallenged for ages. A similar yet modern illusion is the persistence of vision, a phenomenon by which an afterimage, say, on a screen, is thought to persist on the retina for approximately one twenty-fifth …
