| dc.description.abstract | TICKS is an examination of the people who stand on the fringe—an analysis of those that don’t quite belong. The characters are outsiders in their relationships, jobs, families, and society. This collection brings to life an isolated community on the coast of Massachusetts. It’s a complex, sometimes dark, sometimes funny collection about loneliness. The remote setting, paralleled with the isolated feelings of the characters, drives the reader into a world of uncertainty. Readers are pressed to identify with these characters through their own social, professional, or romantic alienation. This alienation highlights the principal concern of the piece; how do people react in these moments? This collection pilots the reader with instances of absurdity, loss, panic, deceit, and humor through those characters who find themselves on the outskirts. | en_US |
