A Minor Place: A Short Story Collection

Abstract

dc:description.abstract

<p>In this collection, characters often face interior struggles such as past lives, abusive upbringings, dead partners, and relationship struggles. <em>A Minor Place</em> concerns loneliness and existentialism set with a melancholy, southern gothic setting. Characters toil with their psychological state within a shared and collective universe of the unknown. The characters found within <em>A Minor Place </em>deal with sensitive issues such as loss, isolation, and overcoming their difficulties. <em>A Minor Place</em> implements narratives to showcase a "minor” tonality and coloration and style to accompany this titular minor place.</p>
