Quirion, Josue (2018) Ashes of AULD. Masters thesis, Concordia University.
Ashes of Auld is a novella that examines the implications of belonging to, and having belonged to, a university fraternity. The work investigates agency of the individual, and agency of the individual within a collective; how it can be enhanced by affiliation, but also how it can be effaced by it. The intersection of college buffoonery, accountability, and redemption is deconstructed as members of The Brotherhood contend, five years after, with the residual culpability of a tragic incident.
