AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Richard Kelly Pechous, for the Master of Fine Arts degree in Creative Writing, presented on May 19, 2011, at Southern Illinois University Carbondale. TITLE: Spine of a Dog and Other Stories MAJOR PROFESSOR: Professor Pinckney Benedict The characters in this collection display a sense of longing for stability--some sort of attainment of what it means to be an insider--whether it be with romance, happiness, or control. More importantly, the material here examines the way we perceive ourselves in greater society; what drives our desperate need to conform.
