Bag of Flesh: MFA Thesis

Thesis (Master's)--University of Washington, 2016-06

Bag of Flesh: MFA Thesis is a collection of short stories and poems centered on dysfunctional personalities. Using a range of voices, the book explores issues of identity and selfhood in restrictive societies. By employing tropes and images from popular culture, the narratives dip in and out of surrealism, unsettling the reader and leading them to question the prearranged notions of femininity and success that they bring to the text.
