| Summary: | This thesis, a collection of short fiction, attempts to surface some of the
discrepancy between inner and outer lives, between who these characters
want to be and who they've become, between the lives they might have had
and those they've chosen because the former are too chancy and the latter too
easy or too expected.
I hope the resonance for readers will come from a recognition in our
own lives of, as Joan Didion puts it, the "apparently bottomless gulf between
what we say we want and what we do want, what we officially admire and
secretly desire, between, in the largest sense, the people we marry and the
people we love." === Graduation date: 2003
