PLICKA has been approved for the Department of English and the College of Arts and Sciences ___________________________________________________________ Darrell Spencer Professor of English ____________________________________________________________ Benjamin M. Ogles Dean, College of Arts and Sciences 3 ABSTRACT PLICKA, JOSEPH, B., Ph.D., June 2011, English Stories for the Mongrel Heart Director of Dissertation: Darrell Spencer A collection of six short stories, generally of a realist, minimalist aesthetic. They center around middle‐class Americans stumbling through changes, looking for work, distraction, renewal. Other subjects include flies, gorillas, infertility, ducks, basketball, telepathy, marriage, Chinook jargon, spear fishing, tourism, impending nuclear doom, and dogs. Lots of dogs. Critical introduction seeks to examine how fiction operates, paying special attention to the “elasticity” of literary language and drawing on the ideas of William Gass, Flannery O’Connor, John Gardner, Roland Barthes, James Wood, and others, as well on personal observations on the craft and process of writing fiction.
