Cryptid, Phillip Jarett Underwood May 2010

Cryptid, Phillip Jarett Underwood

Dissertations

Cryptid is a term from the field of cryptozoology, which ostensibly presents itself as the study of creatures that may or may not exist, such as – but not limited to – Bigfoot, the Loch Ness Monster, and the Jersey Devil. The term itself, cryptid, refers to one of these unknown creatures. The novella presented here concerns a half-Native American man and his struggle to know not only his dead parents, but himself and his place in the world. While cryptids play a minor role within the boundaries of the narrative itself, the novella concerns itself more with the ways …

Other People's Houses, David Williamson Apr 2010

Other People's Houses, David Williamson

English Theses & Dissertations

The stories in this collection concern the suburban demography as an American landscape, as unique as Manhattan or the West Coast or the Mississippi River or the Arizona desert, with its own lore, mythos, and expectations. These stories attempt to retell those myths and ask why expectations fall short, when they do.

These stories are similar in their exposition and context: male viewpoint characters who live in middle class neighborhoods and communities and spend their days battling anxiety and paranoia and fear and mystery and confusion. Each story represents a piece of suburbia and how a specific landscape and culture …

Bad Girls Of The Bible, Dana Staves Apr 2010

Bad Girls Of The Bible, Dana Staves

English Theses & Dissertations

Bad Girls of the Bible is a collection of short stories set in the South and dealing with the themes, manners, and ideals of the region. Thematically, the stories are concerned with religion, family, gender, sexuality, and identity, exploring generational gaps and misunderstandings, working from, or beyond, Old South ideals toward New South diversity and progressiveness. Every story features a female narrator or point of view character who is greatly influenced by the Old South/New South dichotomy, the sense of obligation to those people who uphold the past, the momentum toward a better future, and each character's willingness to draw …


What Did I Do To Susan Orlean And Other Stories, Brian C. Wilson Apr 2010

What Did I Do To Susan Orlean And Other Stories, Brian C. Wilson

English Theses & Dissertations

From the seat of a bicycle, behind the stage of a lumberjack competition, atop a boatful of oyster shells, and from other unusual perspectives the nonfiction stories in this collection explore a variety of subjects. In some cases I position myself as an outsider, learning through research, interviews and observation. In others I begin as an outsider and then dive in personally, making myself the subject of the experiment. Through it all I hope to make readers, at least temporarily, as interested in online encyclopedias, fixed-wheel bicycles, replica schooners and hungry stingrays as I am.

The proper audience for the …

Gina Bonakdar Nahai: Fantasies Of Escape And Inclusion, Mojgan Behmand Jan 2010

Gina Bonakdar Nahai: Fantasies Of Escape And Inclusion, Mojgan Behmand

Collected Faculty Scholarship

Cry of the Peacock, Moonlight on the Avenue of Faith, and Caspian Rain are the enticing titles of Gina Bonakdar Nahai’s Iran-focused novels, published in 1991, 1999, and 2008 respectively. And the titles hold true: the narratives reflect the pain, melancholy and dream-like beauty conveyed in the titles as they divulge characters who strive to escape the restrictions of their community, religion, government, and gender. In the meantime, as the author depicts these fantasies of escape and attempts at flight –and frequently harshly punishes them–, the characters achieve a hitherto unknown feat, namely the depiction of Jewish Iranian main characters …
