In each of the full-length stories, a male protagonist gets caught up in circumstances over which he has little control. Both pieces of flash fiction are inspired by recent re-readings of work in religious studies that has been important in my thinking - one by Georges Bataille, another by Linda Badham.  75 p.dissertations, academicModern literatureCreative writingFictionShort storiesControl (Psychology)--FictionMaster's Thesis
