Abstract
From Inside the House is a collection of eleven creative nonfiction essays, nearly all segmented and nonlinear. The essays take place across a wide span of time, from childhood to the author’s current age, and feature her hometown in Michigan, post-college life in Chicago, and time spent in West Virginia. Themes that feature prominently include anxiety, class, relationships, politics, alienation, fear, failure, and ambition.
