Reinvention of Elizabeth Barns
My sister’s short story in the Atticus Review:
“Prepare to be cut open and changed by “Reinvention of Elizabeth Barns,” [Caitlin] O’Grady’s short story, which features sharp, rhythmic prose and a unique heroine. O’Grady draws the Elizabeth character—an OCD wall-flower—with skill and frank sensitivity, the tension in the piece building expertly. In the plot’s fairly simple action, much deeper themes emerge: our vulnerability, our need to be noticed, what pushes us toward courage, toward action.”
