4f16c250h35	Brynne Volpe	We're just like everybody else, only more so: On Queering Myth and Returning to the Present	2023		.txt	text/plain	220	6	46	This thesis places Andrea Lawlor's novel Paul Takes the Form of a Mortal Girl in conversation with Leslie Marmon Silko's novel Ceremony to explore how the fairytales of Paul offer new, queered refashionings of familiar fairytales that exemplify refusal's relationship to the present. Using Matthew Spellberg's understanding of the function of myth, Maria Tatar's approach to fairytales, and Heather Love and Mari Ruti's conceptions of queer refusal as frameworks, this thesis examines the ways in which the repetition of mythic stories primes readers for each novel's culminating moments of refusal and rejection.	cache/4f16c250h35.txt	txt/4f16c250h35.txt
