Fringe Dwellers – the synopsis
Shane Joseph

...Sid’s a war-hero and a bum, Gloria’s a beautiful luckless lover, Andrew’s a writer whose favourite haunt is the cemetery, and Julia is a priest with a dying congregation in a booming suburb. 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 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.
