O Street (2007) -- Nominated 2007 Lambda Literary Award for
Lesbian Debut Fiction
The tightly linked stories of Corrina Wycoff's gripping
debut collection follow the life of Elizabeth Dinard. Raised in poverty
by a schizophrenic single mother who self-medicates with heroin,
Elizabeth experiences a childhood fraught with emotional and financial
insecurity, as well as darker exploitations.
Now living a fragmented and desperate adulthood, she continually
attempts to outrun her brutal past but proves unable to let go of her
love for the charismatic, lawless mother who continues to haunt her. In
her struggles as she ages, leaves home, moves through lovers, loses her
mother to suicide, and eventually becomes a single mother herself,
Elizabeth's gritty determination to simply survive--to exist--is an
enormous, if bittersweet, victory.
