Michael Fillerup

Salt Lake City, UT: Signature Books, 1990

  • Michael Fillerup: Author
Short Story
Michael Fillerup writes about contemporary life on the borders of civilization. In his prize-winning stories a middle-aged woman tries to explain to incredulous family and friends why she has decided to undergo a complete body make-over; a harried academic cautiously juggles professional responsibilities with domestic obligations; and two missionaries, called to preach Christianity, find themselves repairing broken pick-ups instead. One of the West's most refreshing new writers, Michael Fillerup addresses the dilemmas confronting women and men in a conservative environment, the ambivalent interactions between Anglos and American Indians, and the alienation of religious feeling in the face of institutional sentimentality. Each of Fillerup's prize-winning stories features the voice of idealistic people struggling with the harsh realities of the real world. [publisher blurb]
