Inhaltsangabe

A teenager on the tram meets an old man claiming to be Jesus Christ. Six young women band together on a night prowl. A Filipino immigrant clashes with his eldest sister, who has brought him to Australia for a better life. And in a future where dogs have risen up against their owners, a mother is alarmed by her adolescent daughter&;s behavior. Through such diverse characters, Paddy O&;Reilly takes us into the fringes of human nature&;our hidden thoughts, our darker impulses, and our unspoken tragedies. By turns elegiac and acerbic, but always acutely observed, Peripheral Vision confirms O&;Reilly as one of our most inventive and insightful writers.
