S. Jacques Stratton
Originally, I intended to write a how-to guide for landing an overseas teaching contract and adapting to life as an ex-pat educator. The more I related the topic to my own ex-pat experience, the more I realized the job comprised just one facet of a much richer story. ISLANDS ON THE FRINGE resulted from my effort to recall the totality of that story on a psychological, emotional, and physical level. Ultimately, I realized that I didn't so much land a contract as a contract landed me, setting in motion a series of transitional moments that changed me in ways I never anticipated. The narrative represents my effort to understand those changes in a holistic way.
