\u201cThe Electric Chair\u201d: Exploring Memory Through Dystopian Fiction and the Short Story Cycle<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In this presentation I will be discussing how dystopian fiction, memory, and the short story cycle are relevant to my work of fiction. Dystopian fiction has been a powerful genre for stories such as \u201cThose Who Walk Away From Omelas\u201d and \u201cThe Lottery,\u201d which explore troubling yet plausible worlds. In my work, \u201cThe Electric Chair,\u201d I examine memory through the genre of dystopian fiction. I will discuss how I use memoy as a key storytelling mechanic by telling the story backwards through flashbacks. Finally I will explain the short story cycle and why I was inspired to use its form in developing my larger work in which this story will be a part of.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
