Mairead Case & Mairead Case 
Tiny 

Tiny is a poetic retelling of Sophocles’
Antigone. Instead of having two brothers who kill each other in a civil war, Tiny has one who kills himself after coming home from a far-away war. Our heroine mourns her brother, forever, but—with best friend Izzy, boyfriend Hank, and a collective dance night held in an old artificial limb store—she escapes freezing herself in grief, too.
