Misfits
is a startling collection of short stories -- heartfelt, compassionate, full. of sentiment yet unsentimental."
--Paul Wolansky, Film Professor, Co-writer of
The Guide and Dovbush: Lord of Black Mountain
--
How do you connect with others when you always feel out of place?
Following a kaleidoscopic array of characters adrift in a precarious world,
grapples with the challenges of contemporary life, including climate change, inequality, uncertainty, and pain.
A depressed accountant stumbles on a teenage eco-terrorist in a parking garage; a middle-aged psychiatrist buys a drink for a seductive young artist during a flight delay; an out-of-work journalist recruits Chicano gangbangers to help a desperate tennis partner; a troubled biologist runs into J. Robert Oppenheimer in a Santa Fe hotel.
These fraught encounters all have unexpected and startling consequences. Despite their differences in age, background, and circumstance, the characters in
share a common sense of dislocation and alienation. They struggle to find a sense of belonging and connection, but ultimately discover unexpected sources of resilience and hope.
With its evocative portrayal of Los Angeles as a microcosm of contemporary society,
offers a compelling exploration of the human condition in an unpredictable and rapidly changing world.
