Synopsis "Outsiders"

These stories focus on the outsider and how living on the margins manifests itself. A life lived on the fringes of society is triggered by exile to Canada from Chile and interpolation into the zone of the newcomer in a new urban landscape, the realm of the concrete and the existential, the fantastic or the world of dreams, even a futuristic dystopia. The role of outsider is experienced in different settings, in the environment of political turmoil, the psychology of borderline states of marginalization and in the uncertainties of the contemporary identities in which the latent and manifest possibilities seem to encompass all the human race. Or else it appears to be reduced to a marginal, challenged, defensive ego. The marginalized characters in this collection of stories of differing format and length are not members of the Parnassian outsiders who made up the stable of Colin Wilson's Outsider, those famous names everyone can recall and enumerate. On the contrary, the personages in these stories tend to be somewhat anonymous, or nearly so dwellers living in real, conjectural or dreamed spaces that are always possible in a certain way, given the proper conditions.
