Broken Fiction

Broken Fiction is a collection of short auto/fictional pieces that move in between the force of memory and the force of loss. The collision of memory or storying, and loss or grief is where the author finds both solace and anguish and tries to negotiate a recognition or a moment without resorting to easy resolution. In each recognition there is an acceptance of the details of life gone off the rails in some worlds, but a life that is normal in other worlds-and not necessarily tragic but often heartbreaking, sometimes funny and always in an inbetween orbit of love or love gone wrong, anger or anger misplaced, joy or joy's many faces, cultural memories that are translated into newworld talk or translated not at all.
