Abstract:
Affordable Bankruptcy is a collection of short stories, flash fiction, and microfiction that explores familial and personal dilemmas. Largely, the dilemmas that the characters in each piece experience remained unsolved as a means by which to access and explore experience rather than offering simple resolutions. These characters start out complicated, and their experiences only leave them more so. The collection takes the form of two halves: "Compunction" and "Revulsion." Within each section, thematic conversations take place between small works with insular content. "Buck Granderson's Pond" and "Debride" are two such works, and the conversation between these two pieces centers on the things fathers teach their sons, exploring the ways in which sons reject and accept their father's lessons. The rest of the collection places other pieces in similar conversations, offering various viewpoints on thematic material that serves as a throughline for stories with vastly varying subject matters.
