Shreve, Susan R.Haber, Alex2014-10-072014-10-072014-10-07https://hdl.handle.net/1920/9016This thesis is a collection of short stories written over the course of eight months. Many of these short stories involve close relationships – the kind that form between two people – and the moments, often disconcerting, that define them. A particular afternoon, a conversation, a way of looking, can signify a timespan, a relationship, much greater, much more involved, and it is the author’s intention to portray a timespan of great length in as small a space as possible.enMichiganShort storiesLumber millsThesis
