“Several of the stories in misfits speak to the complexities of living in today’s rapidly changing, multi-cultural, urban world of Los Angeles,” says Harris, “which I see as the Ellis Island of the 21st century. They portray through confrontations between young and old, the privileged and marginalized, and people of different cultures.”Publishers Weekly BookLife says it best about this book: “This bracing, incisive collection of 12 short stories immerses readers in the lives of characters who, as the title suggests, find themselves disconnected from the world and people around them while facing personal struggles and disappointments-plus social workers, security guards, awkward tennis partners, and more. Each entry delves into the sharply delineated life of a character trying to navigate an existence that's not working out how they expected, like the former stunt performer who now sells insurance, or the street-reporting journalist facing the death of great weekly papers, as Harris, a documentary filmmaker (Into the Arms of Strangers: Stories of the Kindertransport) and author, finds fresh, pained perspectives on feelings of being alienated or left behind.”
