The Interloper - Softcover
The astonishing stories in The Interloper capture the moment when ambivalence floods the new immigrant's consciousness. Regret and nostalgia take turns overwhelming and being overwhelmed by rosy expectations, and only drastic measures stave off paralysis and ruin.

From the Back Cover:
Rabindranath Maharaj's stories capture the whiplash emotions of immigrants -- excitement, nostalgia, hope, terror, the self-consciousness of the outsider. But, profoundly sympathetic as he is towards his characters, Maharaj is alert to the human frailties they carry with them wherever they go. His irreverence strikes Trinidad and Canada, Christianity and Hinduism, Fredericton's miniature order and Toronto's trackless suburbs with equal vigour.
About the Author:
Rabindranath Maharaj, a Trinidadian teacher and journalist, wrote several of the stories in the Interloper during the year he spent in Fredericton. He now writes and teaches in Toronto.
