A member of the Osage tribe, author Chelsea T. Hicksâ stories are compelled by an overlooked diaspora happening inside America itself: that of young Native people. In stories like âSuperdrunk,â âTsexope,â and âWetsâa,â iPhone lifestyles co-mingle with ancestral connection, strengthening relationships or pushing people apart, while generational trauma haunts individual paths. Broken partnerships and polyamorous desire signal a fraught era of modern love, even as old ways continue to influence how people assess compatibility. And in âBy Alcatraz,â a Native student finds herself alone on campus over Thanksgiving break, seeking out new friendships during a national holiday she does not recognize. Leaping back in time, âA Fresh Start Ruinedâ inhabits the life of Florence, an Osage woman attempting to hide her origins while social climbing in midcentury Oklahoma. And in âHouse of RGBâ a young professional settles into a new home, intent on claiming her independence after a break-up, even if her ancestors canât seem to get out of her way. Whether in between college semesters or jobs, on the road to tribal dances or escaping troubled homes, the characters of A Calm & Normal Heart occupy a complicated and often unreliable terrain. Chelsea T. Hicks brings sharp humor, sprawling imagination, and a profound connection to Native experience in a collection that will subvert long-held assumptions for many readers, and inspire hope along the way. 541 $d 20220713. 650 $a Osage peoples $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Short stories. 941 $a 6 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20231010024356.0 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20230725010436.0 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20230203020248.0 952 $l KSPG296 $d 20221111010429.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20220909011450.0 952 $l BVPE851 $d 20220827010054.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=8E24170E25CD11ED883BB1813EECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
