[quote=Anonymous]OK, I found Dorland's thesis, which is four stories. https://drum.lib.umd.edu/bitstream/handle/1903/15404/DorlandPerry_umd_0117N_15262.pdf?sequence=1&isAllowed=n I think her writing shows a lot of intelligence, but the stories might be missing that compelling thing that makes you want to find out what's next. I'm no literary critic, ha, and I had just skimmed through. This part of the first short story is poignant: "What happened in the boys’ shower and after, are memories I feed and keep alive as an ever-present possibility, so as to meet anything like that again face-on, rather than bump up against it in the dark. [b]With time I realized that not a single one of them had ever promised me anything. And if no one has promised you anything, what right have you to feel betrayed? Betrayal is what we call it when we’ve pinned secret, longing promises onto other people for ourselves.[/b] I don’t go into rooms with anyone anymore, so to speak."[/quote]
