This is a collection of short stories in fulfillment of the Florida State University Ph.D. dissertation requirement. The collection contains eight stories. Its title is Catching Up: A Collection. The stories form a type of sequential narrative, in that they are ordered by the age of the protagonist. In the one story where there are three protagonists, an average of sorts is drawn. The collection, therefore, travels from childhood to old age, gaining what insights it may from each time period. In doing so, it crosses gender boundaries. All of the stories can be thought of as related to Florida in some manner, though in "Port and Starboard Liberty" the connection is somewhat tangential, and no attempt was made to treat Florida as a thematic element. Rather, the collection is heavily concerned with the problems inherent in the parent-child relationship and the consequences of lost love. / A Dissertation Submitted to the Department of English in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy. / Spring Semester, 2003. / March 19, 2003. / Short Stories, Florida, Parent-Child Relationships / Includes bibliographical references. / Janet Burroway, Professor Directing Dissertation; Peter Ruppert, Outside Committee Member; Mark Winegardner, Committee Member; Elizabeth Stuckey-French, Committee Member; Virgil Suarez, Committee Member.
