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\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Rabindranath Maharaj\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1998408515\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781998408511\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Buckrider Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/03\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 250\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.88lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.50d","brand":"Rabindranath Maharaj","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":49001659990271,"sku":"9781998408511","price":21.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-nowhereian-rabindranath-maharaj-9781998408511","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
