Artists' Fellowship - 2000
Fiction
Artist Statement:
I write stories about the way in which love shapes a life. Right now, I am preoccupied in particular with the relentless confluence of all the bonds we choose for ourselves and those into which we are born: love of parents, siblings and children. I create characters, endless alter egos, to investigate these ordinary questions: How do we recognize love? How do we imagine it? How do we fool ourselves about love? How does it make us so crazy? When it leads to betrayal or mires us in deep regret, where do we look for consolation and redemption? How do we go on?
