description: "Michael Carroll is an American writer. He published his debut short story collection, Little Reef, in 2014. The collection, which portrays characters that, according to the UW Press, are \"people stunned by the shock of the now, who have forgotten their pasts and can’t envision a future\". The book was a shortlisted nominee for the Lambda Literary Award for Gay Fiction at the 27th Lambda Literary Awards and won the Sue Kaufman Prize for First Fiction from the American Academy of Arts and Letters."
