 Stein | Picture Gertrude Stein playing ping-pong with a G.I. in Paris during World War II; Katherine Mansfield struggling to write her final stories in Montana, Switzerland; a girl with clown phobia who falls in love with a clown named Joujou. These are some of the characters portrayed in the newly published short story collection, Do Not Forsake Me, Oh My Darling, by Maura Stanton, professor of English and creative writing at IU Bloomington.
The book is the winner of the 2002 Richard Sullivan Prize in short fiction, awarded biennially by the University of Notre Dame’s Creative Writing Program to authors of short stories. The prize is named in memory of the late novelist and short story writer who served on the Department of English faculty at Notre Dame. The Sullivan Prize includes a cash award and publication of the winning work by the University of Notre Dame Press.
Stanton’s fifth book of poetry, Glacier, is forthcoming from the Carnegie-Mellon University Press. |
