| Summary: | "A Good Place To Wake To: Stories" is a collection of short stories that take place both in the Midwest and the South, exploring themes that are relevant in not only contemporary American society, but globally as well—themes such as sexual identity, race, whiteness, sexual assault, addiction, and more. The connective tissue of these narratives, however, is the characters’ exploration, their hunt, for identity. To borrow from Robert Olen Butler, the protagonists inhabiting "A Good Place To Wake To: Stories" are all asking themselves one question—yet in very different ways—and that question is: “Who the hell am I?” === A Thesis submitted to the Department of English in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Fine Arts. === Spring Semester 2018. === March 27, 2018. === Includes bibliographical references. === Mark Winegardner, Professor Directing Thesis; Skip Horack, Committee Member; Elizabeth Stuckey-French, Committee Member. |
