{"product_id":"the-nowhereian","title":"The Nowhereian","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA nowhereian is a hotfoot dreamer, a restless man or woman forever adrift and looking for a place that exists only in the clouds.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRabindranath Maharaj’s latest collection of stories centres around the nowhereian, a familiar figure in the Caribbean imagination. To a Trinidadian, a nowhereian is a person with no fixed address, someone who lives on the fringes of society, either through displacement or through wanderlust. Depending on the speaker’s tone, it’s a term that can be a mild insult, an amused observation or even a backhanded compliment. In this collection of stories, split between Trinidad and Canada, Maharaj looks deeply into the lives of those who are caught in between: A young women taking her first job, an actor at the end of his life, a recent immigrant struggling to settle in Canada, a student looking for a new beginning and many more. Maharaj deftly examines their experiences of change and dislocation in rich, layered prose, bringing readers unforgettable stories of striving and dreaming, of loss and hope.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003ca name=\"about\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e","brand":"Rabindranath Maharaj","offers":[{"title":"Print Preorder","offer_id":48631472161000,"sku":null,"price":24.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2335\/9075\/files\/ww_maharaj_fiction_FA_670a08e4-c95c-4941-ba24-d3417dc949bf.jpg?v=1781019108","url":"https:\/\/bookstore.wolsakandwynn.ca\/products\/the-nowhereian","provider":"Wolsak \u0026 Wynn Publishers Ltd.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
