Title:	The Origins of a Circle
Author:	Skipper, Jason E
Description:	The Origins of a Circle is a collection of short stories almost entirely interconnected by a first person narrator, Christopher Saxton. The primary focus of this compilation is the relationship between the narrator and his father, a seafood salesman who deals with his life, as well as his illness, though silence, adultery, and alcoholism. With these stories, I attempt to examine the often problematic, circular courses of behavioral characteristics, such as inclinations toward absence and silence that pass from one generation to the next. By putting characters in situations where they must choose to speak or choose to stay silent and by primarily using first person narration, I seek to show how these decisions are sometimes made. I have chosen to focus on the notion of how passive-aggressiveness can be used within familial relationships as a means of both cruelty and survival.
