Environmental Justice Home Economics Individual and Family Studies Labor Economics Land Use Planning Language Arts Modern Literature Zoology conflict stay fight Non-disposability Snakes Appalachia authority capitalism pipelines fruit trees elves rural queer families foster care work migration place land sabotage homesteading asparagus road kill This novel tells the story of an unconventional family, Karen, Lily, Helen, and Perley, living in a manner dictated partly by circumstance, partly by choice, in the hills of Appalachia. They attempt to build a life on their own terms but are torn from each other. Most of the story is about the women trying to get Perley, the child back from foster care. The novel is preceded by a creative critical essay, entitled “By Fight I Mean Fight”, which explores conflict as a craft point in the art of fiction writing. The essay makes the argument that conflict, while often touted as a fundamental ingredient to fiction writing, is underexplored and often relies on received cultural ideas about what conflict is for and what its possibilities are. The essay engages a variety of storytellers, writers, conflict workers, activists, and scholars, as well as using examples from the novel, to expand the conversation about conflict as craft. 2018 English text Ohio University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ohiou1542290577052013 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ohiou1542290577052013 restricted--full text unavailable until 2024-01-01 This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
