WORCESTER The Mass Cultural Council has chosen Caitlin McCarthy and Shrish Korde, both of Worcester, among Massachusetts artists who will each receive $15,000 2021 Artist Fellowship Awards.
The awards are for exceptional work in the disciplines of Crafts, Dramatic Writing, Film & Video, Music Composition, Photography, and Sculpture/Installation/New Genres.
McCarthy, who received a fellowship award in the Dramatic Writing category, has written several award-winning screenplays. She said she submitted her crime thriller A Native Land for fellowship consideration. In A Native Land, a Black Native American cop battles local prejudice, personal troubles, and her own police force while trying to unmask a serial killer on the loose. I was inspired to write A Native Land because I am of Métis descent through my Huron (Wendat)/Abenaki/French Canadian ancestry McCarthy said.

Often, when I’m bored with the books I’ve been reading or with the enforced solitude of lockdown, I return to my shelves for collections of fables, folktales and wonder tales from many cultures and in many languages.
I have a special predilection for Chinese tales of the uncanny, particularly because so many of those such as Pu Songling’s Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio are not retold from traditional or oral sources, but written in a finely calibrated style, long before the modern short story established its formal hegemony in the realms of world literature.
Today, though, I’ve finished the last story in Midnight Doorways, by our very own fabulist Usman T. Malik.
