STORIES HEARD, LIVED, IMAGINED. Fringe Locations is a collection of 17 distinctly diverse tales from three continents and decidedly contrasting settings, which bring to life a wide variety of characters from all walks of life: from a girl caught in a sand storm in South Africa's interior, a boy who shot his girlfriend, an environmentalist who refused to be silenced, a lawyer who flew to the Yucatan to find peace of mind, to stories from Müller's life: meeting the poet Allen Ginsburg, befriending a concentration camp survivor, going on a pilgrimage to the active volcano Stromboli in Italy, and…mehr

STORIES HEARD, LIVED, IMAGINED. Fringe Locations is a collection of 17 distinctly diverse tales from three continents and decidedly contrasting settings, which bring to life a wide variety of characters from all walks of life: from a girl caught in a sand storm in South Africa's interior, a boy who shot his girlfriend, an environmentalist who refused to be silenced, a lawyer who flew to the Yucatan to find peace of mind, to stories from Müller's life: meeting the poet Allen Ginsburg, befriending a concentration camp survivor, going on a pilgrimage to the active volcano Stromboli in Italy, and his multifarious hitchhiking adventures over a ten year period. Though fictional, many of the stories in Part One are based on true events. The autobiographical accounts in Part Two are all true, save for some slight creative deviations. Together the stories traverse frontiers and probe the deeper levels of what it means to be human in this wonderfully variegated world of ours. Each story reflects, on some level, the indomitable striving of the human spirit, in both grand and small ways. They are astute vignettes of the human condition, encompassing loneliness, socio-political injustices, sickness, sorrow, death, love, companionship, redemption, succumbing, and overcoming. Stories include: 1) The Red Wind ~ 1 2) Hotel Pischa ~ 11 3) Sundial ~ 12 4) Pool Cleaner in the Yucatan ~ 15 5) Up in Smoke ~ 23 6) Optimistic Freshman ~ 27 7) Yeah, I Killed my Girlfriend ~ 29 8) 4' 33" ~ 32 9) Fringe Locations ~ 34 10) Draft Dodger ~ 57 11) A Walk-through Time and Snow ~ 55 12) Allen Ginsberg at the Atlantis ~ 58 13) Stromboli ~ 66 14) 7 Trains, 7 Planes: A Blessing~ 73 15) Water ~ 81 16) We Met at the Met ~ 81 17) Thumbing Down the Road ~ 93

Autorenporträt
Eric G. Müller lives in upstate New York, writing, teaching, and playing music. He has published novels, memoirs, and poetry books. His children's books include "The Invisible Boat," its sequel, "The Invisible Boat and the Molten Dragon," and "Tiny Tin Elf." Born in Durban, South Africa, he studied literature and history at the University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg. Enjoyable years as a primary and high school teacher laid the foundation for his storytelling abilities. The imaginative array of characters in his books face danger with courage and resolute decisiveness. His deep love of nature and of children is once again made abundantly clear in "The Mermaid of Amarvin Island."
