The College of Liberal Arts invites you to the MFA thesis defense of N贸ra McIntyre, an exciting showcase of genre-bending storytelling that blurs the line between the real and the surreal.

Universe, baby and other Weirdness is a collection of short and flash fiction, poetry, and a hybrid novella. The pieces in this work employ supernatural, surreal, or otherwise strange elements in order to explore themes of love, monstrosity, loneliness, and loss. Through dreamlike narratives and unconventional forms, McIntyre invites readers into worlds both haunting and deeply human, where the bizarre becomes a lens for emotional truth.

This is an opportunity to engage with innovative storytelling and support a rising literary voice as she presents her creative work.

Thesis Committee:
Chair: Joseph Holt
Committee Members: Terry Reilly, Kavelina Torres

Don鈥檛 miss this unique exploration of the strange, the surreal, and the deeply human in McIntyre鈥檚 compelling body of work!
