Abstract
Familial Acquaintances is a collection of short stories with a focus on the family relationship. Some of the stories are meant to represent fictionalized versions of the author’s family members, while others are purely fiction. The author’s interest in the relationship between fiction and nonfiction is one that informs much of her work. The use of fictionalized non-fiction, or reality-infused fiction, as the author alternatively refers to it, is used as a vehicle to examine family dynamics, and explore the long-lasting effects of our early family relationships and how they form our personalities and affect our relationships as adults.
