Issue 22. March 2012 : ANNEMARIE NEARY Firebird

from The Drum: A Literary Magazine For Your Ears · host The Drum Literary Magazine

The burning of an opera house, a rivalry between two sisters, self-creation in Venice--these are all elements of Annemarie Neary's short story "Firebird". Its narrative threads woven together like those of an opera, Neary's story mines the relationship between Elvira and Betsy (or Betzi, as she renames herself) and their ongoing attempts to define themselves against and with each other. The story is a meditation on identity and art, originality and imitation.
