The stories question suburban values and rules of behavior with a focus on girls and women, as well as the men in their lives. Like suburban neighbors, the stories and characters are simultaneously independent and interdependent. How the residents navigate family and community expectations when experiences, values and belief systems vary is explored through traditional realism, fairy tale, and magical realism. Each new voice, setting, and style impacts or influences one that has gone before or will come later. This rippling in the stories mimics heredity, memory and tradition, but also the way social roles start within the household – small, comfortable, seemingly safe – – then grow larger and more nuanced as members (and their stories) move into the neighborhood, then return home armed with new experiences and beliefs that change every relationship and situation irrevocably. 2011-08-17 English text Miami University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=miami1313515487 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=miami1313515487 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
