Item Fiery Girls and Other Stories(MFA in Creative Writing, The University of Tampa, 2018-06-14) Evans, SarahFrom the unlit pilot in the opening sentence to the heated heroine advancing in the final scene of the collection, the narratives in Fiery Girls and Other Stories build from individual sparks of enlightenment to eternal flames. Visceral. Vulnerable. Volatile. As the eclectic characters in the nine short stories and culminating novella encounter unique circumstances, bordering on the absurd, the pieces are unified by their authoritative tone, time-traveling transitions and slow-burn rate of revelation. Focusing on the feminine ideal of both/and, the pieces presented in Fiery Girls and Other Stories are chaotically patterned, craftily playful and seriously funny. Traditional story plotting combines with unladylike thoughts and themes to create an explosive narrative documenting what it means to be burned out and fired up.
