Rituals to Observe : Stories about Holidays from the Flannery O'Connor Award for Short Fiction Paperback / softback
Edited by Ethan Laughman
Part of the Flannery O'Connor Award for Short Fiction Series series
Paperback / softback
Description
These stories amount to something more than a celebration of the holidays dotting our calendars from month to month.
Even though holidays can occasion a return to the familiar, these stories challenge traditional associations.
Each story serves to complicate how we observe the human observation of holidays and offers a nuanced understanding of related themes such as family and motherhood, travel, grief and mourning processes, and memory.
More generally, holidays are days of observance, and that aspect alone offers a lot to unpack.
