If You Insist on Being Injured, I Will Be the One to Injure You

Abstract

dc:description.abstract

The stories in this collection exist somewhere between the formalist and the fabulist. I use writing to explore topics that interest me such as beauty, movies, reality, and mothers. I hope these stories are ingrained with unexpected surprises and humor. There are elements of absurdism in my stories. However, my work is not an artifact of a political or philosophical ideal. My work is an artifact of who I am.
