Abstract
The following thesis consists of five short stories. My work has a regional emphasis, with each story set in Iowa. "Up Wau Hollow" tells about Ginny, a girl whose family lives up Wau Hollow in the Loess Hills of southwestern Iowa. "Cabbie" focuses on a cab driver with an active imagination. He works hard at distancing himself from people and from life. "Letting Go" is the story of a mother torn between her maternal instinct and letting go of her daughter. "View from the Flying Wienie" brings together two characters that might not have met if it weren't for the Flying Wienie hotdog stand. The final story, "Sparrow" is another story about the Loess Hills. It moves between a tale of the early Native American inhabitants of the area and the story of those who settled in the area centuries later.
