An experimental anti-imperialist fever-dream work of fiction, Always the Wanderer tells the stories of three people, James, Patrick, and Elizabeth, whose lives are all in flux. They do not know each other, but their stories are connected by their geographies, their emotions, and the uncertainties in their lives. Filled with beautiful and immersive prose, this work consists of three narrative braids that intertwine to draw the reader into this novel's complicated world. All three stories, or braids, were written with one another in mind and the arrangement of the chapters was intentional. Always the Wanderer occupies an ambiguous space that confronts readers with challenging views of imperial politics, capitalism, morals, ethics, and inter-cultural exchange. James, Patrick, and Elizabeth are strangers to each other, and yet the reader can sense their commonalities.
