Tyrone G. McDaniels, UC Irvine MFA, Fiction, 1983. His thesis, A Lovely Summer Time (of Summertime), is a novel told from the point of view of a twelve-year-old Mississippi girl named Butters Consanguine, whose butterfly collecting career goes awry when she catches in her net an escaped convict named Dinkey Brutus. Here, McDaniels demonstrates the crackling MFA wit that earned him a spot in the nation's most prestigious MFA program (Iowa who? Oh, SNAP!).
