    Behind a Crystal Veil, A Novel-in-Progress and Stories
    (2011) Nissan, Jenna; Norman, Howard; Creative Writing; Digital Repository at the University of Maryland; University of Maryland (College Park, Md.)
    This novel-in-progress and collection of stories aims to explore the role of collective memory and storytelling within families. Each narrative is interested in investigating what parts of heritage are intuitively known by younger generations, as well as what pieces of family history are lost over the years. The concept of the title, Behind a Crystal Veil, stems from the idea that when looking back on the past, there are some memories that can be seen anew by younger generations through storytelling, yet other aspects of heritage that will always be obscured and veiled by the passage of time.
