What have they in common? They are the Fringe Dwellers – people who once led normal lives until a sudden twist in the road sent them out onto the fringes of society. And from the fringe they claw back meaning and redemption for their altered lives. Why does Harry pretend that everything is normal when his whole life is falling apart? Or Professor Ram hunger for his attractive landlady while under an oath of celibacy? Or paralysed Nelly dread the touch of her brother; while Beatrice strips for her lover when he returns from his wife’s funeral? Are these people nuts? Or given their circumstances, would you have acted the same? Find out, in these twelve touching stories of human endeavour against loss, circumstance and marginalization. 6173483 12 2008 Fringe Dwellers total:9|5:2|4:5|3:1|2:1|1:0| 9 35 22 5 4 0 false false Sun Mar 01 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Tue Apr 07 21:40:50 -0700 2009 Tue Apr 07 21:43:59 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Fri Jun 05 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Mon May 04 16:35:05 -0700 2009 Fri Jun 05 15:51:18 -0700 2009 more...]]> 5 0 false false Mon May 18 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Wed May 06 22:22:04 -0700 2009 Sun May 24 18:48:04 -0700 2009 Shane Joseph’s twelve fringe dwellers, presented in twelve griping short stories, are realistic inhabitants of segments of our society.
