My Own Winter Sun BY TESS NEIS The fame and fortune that went with success had a price. For Erik Robson, quintessential English heartthrob, it was boredom. He was sick of the screaming fans and the flashing cameras of the paparazzi that never failed to trail him wherever he went. He was tired of the attention that was always attached to anything he said or did. All he wanted was to restore some semblance of normality and order in his life. As fate would have it, he met Tamiko who turned out to be just the breath of fresh air that Erik so needed in his convoluted world. But to many people, Tamiko was either an unwelcomed distraction or a fierce competition. Either way, she was not good for Erik's career. Could the people around Erik be right? For wasn't Tamiko herself running away from her own demons?
The Corner of Irrelevance is a funny yet poignant look at one womans journey through a life of mediocrity, of big dreams and little successes, of failures and struggles, and finally, of acceptance and peace. When she marries, everyone says she has finally earned her happy ending. But as she starts her new life in a foreign land, the obvious becomes even more apparentthat she will always be average, ordinary, and middle of the road. As she struggles to fit into a culture that is intolerant to outsiders, she painfully realizes that perhaps a mediocre life is not worth living, that death is the only possible end to a lacklustre life.
