The outlet Emigrant and Other Stories by Justine Dymond NEUF

The winner of The Eludia Award, the stories in this collection range widely in setting and outlet era, including France during World War II, Maine in the early eighteenth century, and Tennessee in the twenty-first century. What the stories all have in common, however, are characters who experience life as foreigners, whether in their own countries or not, and who long for a real or imaginary "elsewhere". Each character has a different impulse that propels their longing. Each story represents a border experience, imposed from the outside or inside, that paradoxically confines and propagates the human desire to be somewhere else.
