Welch, Alisa Eve. "Short Stories". PDXScholar, 2012. https://pdxscholar.library.pdx.edu/open_access_etds/811.

Testo completo

Abstract (sommario):

In these six intertwining fictional short stories, one fateful decision ripples through the lives of multiple generations. Annie is an unmarried young mother during World War II when she leaves her young daughter in the care of a childless couple. When Annie fails to return for the child after days and then years, a new and fragile family is formed only to be tested by Annie's eventual return. The other stories in this collection follow the daughters and granddaughters who have to navigate their own lives in the shadow of this abandonment. Spanning multiple decades, Annie's decision remains a pivotal psychological scar imprinted in her descendants and those left to care for the child that she could not.

Nelson, Caleb. "| | Poof | | Short Stories". Thesis, University of Massachusetts Boston, 2015. http://pqdtopen.proquest.com/#viewpdf?dispub=1590687.

Testo completo

Abstract (sommario):

Storytellers have an interdependent relationship with their narratives. If you have ever told a lie, you understand. Stories take on a life of their own, as you consider the potential ramifications of each contingent piece. Definite sets of things happen as results of specific other things. If you throw an ax at me, only a few things can immediately happen, and our relationship will be forever changed. Events evolve. When we create or discover a narrative, we live by its logic. Upon consideration, a moment compels a series of moments modulated by a voice, a single perspective, a personal narrative, which is to say a story. Stories are fabrications of reality, conveyance mechanisms of fact, fiction, and assertion. Stories are contrived, whereas narratives just exist. Narratives are there to be discovered. They are the veins of human action left by life’s tendency toward disorder. Narrative is entropy through time.

Horany, Sarah B. (Sarah Beth). "Original Short Stories". Thesis, North Texas State University, 1986. https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc501088/.

Testo completo

Abstract (sommario):

This thesis consists of three original short stories: "August Morning," "Weekend Idyll," and "Free Ride." In addition, an appendix has been added which contains "Hamilton House Roundabout," the original version of "Weekend Idyll." It is included to illustrate the dramatic changes that can occur in the writing process. "August Morning" focuses on a young man's struggle to gain his freedom from his family, particularly his overbearing father. Whether or not he succeeds is ultimately up to the reader. "Weekend Idyll" follows a young woman as she tries to live a dream she has long believed in. Ultimately, her vision is shattered. The final story, "Free Ride," centers on a hapless teenager who finds happiness only in the exhiliaration of racing. Ultimately, it kills him. I wrote stories rather than an analysis primarily for practical reasons. As a teacher I found an exercise in writing more readily transferrable to my classroom.

Abstract (sommario):

This collection of short stories, titled Betrayal, is my thesis project to meet the requirements for a Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing/Fiction. In each story, of course, there is betrayal, of sister, daughter, wife, husband or lover. The settings of the stories are various, the Midwest, the Great Lakes, the Allegheny Mountains and Louisiana bayou country. Northeastern Ohio and Lake Erie, especially, have informed description and metaphor in the stories, and their atmosphere is influenced by Gothic literature.

Miller, Laura I. "“Almost Astronauts”: Short Stories". Thesis, University of North Texas, 2012. https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc115120/.

Testo completo

Abstract (sommario):

In this collection of short stories, I abduct experiences from my own life and take them on an imaginative journey. I experiment with elements of structure and point of view, often incorporating the magical or surreal to amplify the narrator’s internal landscape. As demonstrated in the title story, “Almost Astronauts,” these stories all deal with a sudden and sometimes destructive shift in the narrator’s perspective.

Abstract (sommario):

This collection contains a preface that discusses the role of landscape and place as they are used in fiction, particularly when they are colored by the writer's own memories of home. The preface is followed by four original short stories, three of which relate to a fictional small town in Texas. "Under the Surface" involves two young boys who begin to relate thoughts of the dead body they find to their own absentee mother. "Tommy" explores a young man's memories of his recently deceased friend, as well as the gossip of a small town. "Stubborn" depicts a man's struggle after his wife has delivered an ultimatum. "Out of the Valley" is about a father and daughter questioning what it means to be normal.

Nxadi, Julie Ruth Sikelwa. "Bab’aba - Ugly short stories". University of the Western Cape, 2018. http://hdl.handle.net/11394/6669.

Testo completo

Abstract (sommario):

Magister Artium - MA
Bab’aba - Ugly Short Stories is a collection of vignettes whose function is to colour and collage three portraits of Black women characters; namely, a rural woman (Nozikhali), a township teenager (Zola), and a child/baby (Loli). Each of these stories serve as details in each other’s portraits whilst remaining stories on their own. My intention with this collection was to restore some form of abstract equality and right to mystery by functioning within a lexicon of opacity. In the scholarship of decoloniality this is my argument for the legitimacy of vernacular/customised definitions for problems that preoccupy communities/individuals rather than having to always pin ourselves to already existing theory in order to be legible. In the scholarship of opacity, this is a contribution to the argument against the necessity for legibility/transparency (in the first place) in exchange for dignity. I chose ugliness as my thematic district of departure because of its connoted potential to provide richer explorations into notions of marginality and an emancipatory praxis that cannot afford to have in its makeup the potential to seek to eliminate. And though such a liberatory ambition is hard to fantasize about against the backdrop of popular chauvinism in the contemporary landscape of - particularly - South Africa, and the visceral effects thereof and the swift justice needed to attend thereto, I do think that there is merit in hallucinating some sort of doctrine of humanity that ends in dignity for all.

Householder, Aaron J. "The shadow line : short stories". Virtual Press, 2007. http://liblink.bsu.edu/uhtbin/catkey/1365516.

Testo completo

Abstract (sommario):

The Shadow Line is a collection of six short stories featuring characters whose lives take them near, and often across, the metaphorical Line that separates light from dark. Some of these characters indeed straddle that Line, living lives of apparent uprightness while harboring the seeds of inescapable menace. Some hover on the outside of some social structure and yearn to cross over, to leave the shadows of their lives outside for the apparent radiance within. And some live in worlds of brightness and comfort, only to find themselves confronting sudden moments of inexplicable terror. Told from various points of view, these stories invite the reader to listen to the characters — to explore the secrets they keep, the fears and doubts and dangers they face as they confront the darkness — and to inhabit with them, for a short time, the menacing world on either side of the Shadow Line.

Millis, Jessica M. "An artist's childhood : short stories". Virtual Press, 2008. http://liblink.bsu.edu/uhtbin/catkey/1391234.

Testo completo

Abstract (sommario):

Short stories follows five different characters as they attempt to develop their earliest artistic impulses. Through the use of young protagonists, these stories demonstrate the ways in which our earliest experiences with loss and trauma often create a space for imaginative discovery; the collection reveals that it is the uniqueness of this space, this blend of premature emotional depth and naïve whimsy, that opens up new psychological possibilities for the child-artist. Meant to be read as a collection of intimate character sketches, these stories reveal the artist's intensely visual approach toward growth and maturity. Several stories concentrate specifically on what it means to sustain one's imagination into adulthood, while others use flashbacks to demonstrate the profound influence of childhood memories on adult behavior.

Myers, Nathan C. "A veritable press : short stories". Virtual Press, 2007. http://liblink.bsu.edu/uhtbin/catkey/1365520.

Testo completo

Abstract (sommario):

A Veritable Press is a collection of six short stories, focusing on the troubled relationships of its characters, exhibited both internally and externally. While the characters in these stories experience the effects of their own decisions, they are generally more affected by forces outside their control, whether those are the choices of others, or the inexplicability of nature. Most characters seek redemption, though they are denied the means to deliver themselves as they move towards an end that seems inevitable. This feeling of inevitability represents the arbitrary and seemingly unsystematic nature of circumstance. Through the use of distinct voices, multiple narratives, and metafiction, each piece works to exhibit an entirely realistic portrait of its places and characters, endeavoring to force its reader to face what is most unpleasant and appalling, in order to understand it.

Abstract (sommario):

In this collection of linked stories and shorts, the narrator reflects on important people and events in his life, particularly his high school and college years, primarily through first and second person points of view. The stories “Joanna” and “Honor Roll” are first-person narratives, while “Mr. Finethreads” is told from the third person. “Pictures from a Wedding” and “College | Collage” are considered modular fiction, which create a mock-autobiography out of the disparate pieces of the overall mosaic.

Champion, Laurie. "Billy and Me and Other Stories". Thesis, University of North Texas, 1992. https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc500830/.

Testo completo

Abstract (sommario):

The thesis begins with an introductory chapter that explains the problems that short story theorists encounter when they try to define the short story genre. Part of the problem results from the lack of a definition of the short story in the Aristotelian sense. A looser, less traditional definition of literary genres helps solve some of the problem. Six short stories follow the introduction. "Billy and Me," "Queen of Hearts," "The Whiskey Man," and "Psychedelic Trash Cans" are representative of traditional short stories. "Mourning Coffee" and "Seven X Seven" might very well fit into other genres, but even these stories fit a loose definition of the short story genre.

Wellington, Melissa June. "Lies: a collection of short stories". Texas A&M University, 2005. http://hdl.handle.net/1969.1/3744.

Testo completo

Abstract (sommario):

The purpose of this thesis is to demonstrate understanding of the themes, techniques and traditions of creative writing, combining all of the knowledge gleaned from coursework in a body of original fiction. The thesis consists of a collection of short stories and a critical introduction which positions them within the mode of modernism. Themes, structure and the process of creative development are examined and explicated. Influences on style, theme, subject and tone are also described so as to create a line of continuity linking this work to its literary predecessors. The stories follow the path first blazed by Chekhov, then expanded by later modernist writers such as James Joyce and Ernest Hemingway. Stylistically, I have been most influenced by the lyricism of writers like Gabriel GarcÃa MÃ¡rquez and Flannery OÂConnor. I have chosen as the subjects of my stories ordinary people who lead ordinary lives generally devoid of fabulous and exciting incidents that might comprise an exciting plot. The characters themselves do not represent anything in particular, except perhaps a general human condition that, due to their very ordinariness, is inescapable. By encompassing within the narratives both dreams and extended imaginings, these stories will challenge the boundaries of literal reality in some small degree. Although each story will advance its own Âdiscrete moment,Â all the stories will share a focus on internal struggles rather than on external actions and an overall theme of lying, concentrating on the lies that we, as humans, tell ourselves in order to deal with events that occur in our lives and the consequences of our actions. Following in the footsteps of James Joyce and Flannery OÂConnor, each of the stories will be epiphanic rather than anecdotal in nature. However, some of the stories will center on false or failed epiphanies, wherein the main character fails to come to a realization or comes to an incorrect realization.

Abstract (sommario):

ARIA is a collection of seven original pieces of short fiction. The story, "Road-Kill," deals with a lover's desertion and a woman's revenge. A young man's infatuation with another man's girlfriend is the basis for "1969." "Aria" is a retelling of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes story, "A Scandal in Bohemia," from the point of view of the character Irene Adler. "In Search of Avalon" tells of a recent widow's process of grief and healing. "Breakfast and Lunch" portrays a couple who have grown apart and the breakdown of their marriage. In "Simple Gifts," a woman moves beyond her divorce and finds new rewards. And "A Hatteras Day" pays homage to a very special place. On one level, all the stories deal with self-realization and change.

Abstract (sommario):

The stories in this collection are all connected by style, location, mood, and theme. They are introduced by a section which questions the distinction of "Southern" writing. The introduction argues that a story's simply taking place in the South is not enough for a work of fiction to be meaningfully classified as Southern. The introduction suggests that literature characteristically matching what most people think of as Southern is most often written out of affectation.

Winegardner, Emily J. "Beyond the barn door : short stories". Scholarly Commons, 1994. https://scholarlycommons.pacific.edu/uop_etds/2269.

Testo completo

Abstract (sommario):

These four stories are stories about life. The central characters are at a time in their lives when decisions become crucial and they have to act or become lost. Each of the dominant characters has experienced something in life that was beyond their control and they haven't recovered. These stories bring out and explore their recoveries. They are stories of rediscoveries of the self. In the story Gray, Margaret, is not in control of her life. She has had the trauma of losing her only daughter, and there is the intervention of a family friend who has only greed at heart. Margaret and her husband cannot cope and their situation is rapidly moving out of their control. Margaret discovers inner strength, and in her own subtle way, conveys this to her husband. She rebounds from the death of her daughter by becoming stronger herself. In the end, she has found peace within herself and the grief will take a more natural course. The characters in Revenge, parody people in repressed situations. The three women, a farce on three fairy tales, are out for revenge. They comically plot the deaths of the men who have repressed them. Their feminist attitudes lead them through adventures until, at last, they are free. Red Hood, Locks, and Beauty represent women who when bonded together become strong. They gain support from one another and then have the courage to act out their plans. Monica in A Strangled Cry, is not quite so strong. She has a history of problems. These problems are being compounded without her knowledge. She is repressed and controlled by Jeff, her doctor. She finally reaches a point where she knows that she either has to break free of the downward spiral of her life or give in to it forever. She cannot do it alone, however, and she has the help of her brother zack for her final escape. Finally, in Nine Lives, Katherine is in a relationship which is keeping her repressed. She tries to escape but cannot seem to. Finally she relies on help from her mother and her mother's attorney to help her flee from her abusive husband. She achieves her freedom after a long and trying escape. All four of the stories are a brief outlook on a side of life. The main characters have to make decisions which will affect the rest of their lives. The decisions are not always completely conscious or deliberate, but the results are consequential.

Abstract (sommario):

COORDENAÇÃO DE APERFEIÇOAMENTO DO PESSOAL DE ENSINO SUPERIOR
O relato brevíssimo é um espaço particular que vem experimentando um crescimento sustentado desde meados do século XX, especialmente na América Latina. Uma plétora de escritores e de antologias organizadas nesse formato invadiu o mercado editorial hispano-americano nos últimos anos. Trata-se da microficção, uma narrativa que cabe no espaço de uma página. Muitas das ferramentas narrativas dos pequenos relatos provêm do conto, do qual herda a capacidade de criar uma tensão, um ritmo que se traduz na sua pulsão interna, embora nelas também haja ressonâncias de outros gêneros. Na economia da linguagem da microficção esconde-se um olhar lúdico com forte presença do humor e da paródia no tratamento de certas temáticas. Situações do cotidiano, contos populares ou versões corriqueiras de clássicos da literatura misturam-se com ângulos inéditos da condição humana. Vozes aparentemente anônimas trazem de um lugar de não-tempo e de não-espaço histórias que provocam um despertar dos sentidos sobre aquilo que, em princípio, parece inexplicável. A perspectiva de análise a que nos propomos é a da recriação da tendência atual da praxis cultural de desintegração dos gêneros, examinando alguns de seus antecedentes, várias das características que constituem as microficções, como também a idéia de resistência que a atomização da narrativa em pequenos blocos (fragmentos) acarreta. A dissertação aborda a microficção como uma forma de escrita fragmentária e faz algumas leituras sobre a sua relação com a geometria de fractais a partir da obra de Ana María Shua, Luisa Valenzuela e Marina Colasanti.
The very short stories belong to a particular narrative space which has been experiencing a sustained growth since the middle of XX century, especially in Latin America. During the last years, many writers and anthologies around this narrative form have appeared in hispano-american book market. It`s the microfiction, a narrative that fits in a single page. Many narrative tools of these fictions arise from the short stories, from which they inherit the capacity of recreate tension. A rhythm that is translated in an internal pulse, even though resonances of other genres can be identified in these minimum stories. Microfiction´s language economy hides a ludic glance with a strong presence of humor and parody in the treatment of certain themes. Everyday situations, popular tales or hilarious versions of literature`s classics are blended with unknown perspectives of the human condition. Stories are told by apparently anonimous voices from a field of no-time and no-space inducing the awakening of senses over those things that in principle seem unexplainable. The analytical perspective that this study proposes is the recreation of the current cultural praxis trends of genre disintegration, by looking at some of its previous manifestations, its constitutive characteristics, as well as the implications of the resistance that the atomization of narrative in small fragments brings about. This thesis embraces microfiction as a fragmentary narrative, also analysing its relationship with fractal geometry throughout Ana Maria Shua, Luisa Valenzuela and Marina Colasanti`s work.
