American Literature Canadian Literature Fine Arts Literature stories fiction art artifice ekphrasis short short These stories concern, chiefly, art: the making - or not making - of it, its function in our lives. Some stories, such as “Four Minutes, Thirty-Three Seconds,” “Art Thou Troubled,” and “The Many Iterations of Walter Rose,” are attempts at “ekphrastic fiction”: responses to particular songs or pieces of art. Others deal with what it means to be an artist, and yet others are about negotiating the divide between ‘art' and ‘artifice' : a young woman finds solace in a virtual world, a dog is cared for as if it's a child, a couple adopts a mouse in lieu of having a baby. In each, a character that is confused about his or her place in the world of creating finds a place to land. 2011-06-23 English text Bowling Green State University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=bgsu1306961660 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=bgsu1306961660 restricted--full text not available online This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
