Literature and Fiction
In this collection of five short stories Theresa Griffin
Kennedy's assortment of unusual characters are sharply
insightful and as damaged as they are intriguingly complex. Jolting the reader into regular double takes, "Burnside
Field Lizard and Selected Stories," gives an authentic,
place-based portrayal of some of Portland's less privileged
inhabitants. Gender, class and sexual based consciousness seep into the
grain of each story but most importantly Kennedy examines a
universal question from the perspective of the Portland
neighborhoods she knows intimately: What are people willing
to take from others in order to survive and what does it
mean to be human in such a landscape?
