The Artstars: Stories by Anne Elliott
Rachel Guthrie was moved by Maine writer Anne Elliott’s collection of stories The Artstars. The book’s stories follow creative communities—an art school, an illegal loft studio, a guerrilla street performance troupe—where teamwork and professional jealousy mix, and the artists grapple with economic realities and evolving expectations. Guthrie, who is a Professor of Communication and New Media at Southern Maine Community College, wrote this about the book:
“These short stories pulled me in so deeply, especially "Light Streaming from a Horses Ass" - where I can relate easily to each character. Anne's narrative descriptions are both unique and accurate at the same time.”
