The Bear Went Over the Mountain
The Bear Went Over the Mountain is a memoir that marks the people, events, landscape, and era that shapes a women\u27s identity as she journeys from adolescence to adulthood. The story evolves through accretion with the use of a variety of writing strategies such as third person limited omniscient narrator, auto-fiction, mosaic, and disrupted narrative. Other conventions of Creative Non-fiction are used such as dialogue, characterization and plot. Autotopography (photographs) are used to create a motif of ancestral ghosts. They haunt the lives of these characters as they act and react to plots that began long before they were born. An ancestral photograph is placed with the date of the story at the beginning of each section. The mismatching photograph and date is intended to show how these fierce personalities, long dead, have carved their presence into the lives and fates of these characters

The Meadow: a Novel
ABSTRACT
THE MEADOW: A NOVEL
by
Scott A. Winkler
The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, 2015
Under the Supervision of Professor George Clark
The Meadow considers the question of how all Americans, both civilians and military personnel alike, are affected by the United States’ military actions. Set during the Vietnam era, The Meadow tells the story of Walt Neumann, who is torn between his dream of going to college and his father’s insistence that his sons serve their nation as he did in World War II. Circumstance unexpectedly enables Walt to pursue his dream, but he also comes to realize the source of his father’s convictions and fully grasps for the first time the impact his father’s military service has had on him and his family and the ramifications of the Vietnam War on his hometown and nation. Through this lens, The Meadow participates in an ongoing discourse about war and its effects dating back to ancient Greece and moving forward through history, where it has become especially pronounced in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. The Meadow creatively explores and applies the critical theories and themes of scholars like Lauren Berlant, Thomas Myers, Mark Heberle, and Carol S. Pearson; psychologist Jonathan Shay; and authors Tim O’Brien, Bryan Doerries, and Ernest Hemingway to develop its primary themes: 1.) war wounds both combatants and civilians alike, especially psychologically and spiritually; and 2.) narratives—sharing and receiving them—play an essential role in both healing individuals and the nation and in constructing alternatives to the official narratives embedded within sets of forms and the affect which makes these forms meaningful to a nation’s citizens

Quirk\u27s End
Longing and avoidance are both in play in the lives of Liv and August, two single people at the cusp of middle age who meet while trying to help Santo, a young illegal immigrant, and his son find a place to live. The two circle about each other and eventually fall in love, but almost as quickly old patterns reassert themselves for both. These challenges must be acknowledged and a new way envisioned before the love Liv and August share can mature into something more durable
