After a messy divorce, Jeff moves to Hawaii to escape his pain and to start afresh. Running cannot stop the flood of emotions and memories, as he soon finds. He meets a beautiful young stripper who accepts him as he is, but his chronically poor selfesteem and self image lead him to make some of the same mistakes that spelled the downfall of his marriage. The sexuality of the women of his life, past and present, begin to conflate and Jeff begins to punish himself for his frailties. / A Thesis Submitted to the Department of English in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Art. / Summer Semester, 2003. / July 9, 2003. / Short Story / Includes bibliographical references. / Robert Olen Butler, Professor Directing Thesis; Elizabeth Stuckey-French, Committee Member; Sheila Ortiz-Taylor, Committee Member.
