WorksThe Thin Tear in the Fabric of Space
Winner of the 2005 Iowa Short Fiction Award. Finalist for the 2006 Hemingway Foundation / PEN Award. In these nine stories, characters are forced to deal with uncomfortable yet inevitable realities such as finding a way to cope with grief, trying to love people who have died, and being forced to leave former versions of themselves behind. The Poetics of Melancholy in Early Modern England
The Poetics of Melancholy in Early Modern England re-examines canonical writers from the late sixteenth and early seventeenth century from the vantage point of their own self-conceptualizations as learned depressives. Among the authors examined are Edmund Spenser, William Shakespeare, John Donne, Robert Burton, and John Milton. |
