About the Book
A novel that is a braided trilogy about three Westerners living in or near Saudi Arabia whose lives intertwine though they never meet.Book Synopsis
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.
