A haunting trio of stories about life's forgotten shut-ins in the tradition of Kafka, Gogol, and Melville.Invisible People tells the story of three ordinary individuals adrift in the city. The characters who inhabit these tales each value their privacy; their lives are lived alone, without engaging with the outside world. And yet each reaches a turning point, when the individual experience goes from the anonymous to the universal, embodying some of the great themes of human existence: love, loss, loneliness, and even the power of religion.
