In settings ranging from Canada to Latin America, the Far East and the Soviet gulag, in prose raw, unflinching and darkly comedic, readers are introduced to a gaggle of disparate characters struggling to navigate the vicissitudes of a mad, indifferent world. There<U+2019>s a homeless shoeshine boy; a reformed drug addict seeking redemption; a street scribe in war-ravaged, revolutionary China; a mourning widow taking in a damaged stranger. All hurt.
