Abstract
dc:description.abstract<p>This Side Up, Upside Down is a collection of one short novella and six short stories dealing with themes of guilt, disconnection, mis-creation, aging, death, grief, and time. The stories mostly follow the life of Theo Cobarde, a Mexican-American man living in the small town of Eagle, Idaho. He is concerned with the experiences of his older family members, who were all migrant farm workers in California in the mid-twentieth century. Having grown up in Idaho, Theo feels disconnected from his family, and most of all, from his father. The guilt of how he treated his aging father eats away at Theo Cobarde, causing strange occurrences in his life.</p>
