Abstract

No Safe Spaces Here is a short story collection that explores how people inhabit and respond to manufactured environments. Subdivisions, IKEAs, and back-alley garages populate the collection and reflect how we have lost faith in our basic, traditional American systems, and what it means to no longer know your neighbor. Isolation in society, isolation in relationships, and tensions between class and pop culture collide in these fictions.
