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
