Abstract:
For my symposium project, I wrote a series of three short stories from the perspective of a member of a racial minority group, a suburban housewife, and a college student, all taking place in the 70's. I did this in the style of Gonzo journalism, inspired by Hunter S. Thompson, from the novel Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, and included artwork that was inspired by Ralph Steadman.
