"Talking Did Not Come Easily To Diana" is a collection of microfiction with a central character. Diana McPhear, a quirky and well-read MFA in writing, is an adjunct at Earl Warrne Community College. Diana's story is timely, and her funny and sometime irreverent views on her life gives the reader a true insight into the mind of today's academics when 30-60% of all state university and community college faculties are comprised of adjuncts.
"I have not read many (if any) books like this---the fascinating blending of social media and its effects, the academic realities, aspirations and despair, the speculation and desire throughout the collection. This is an important voice in American short prose, contemporary and confident, beautiful and brilliant." ---Lee Herrick, author of This Many Miles from Desire
