Michael Armstrong |
Saloon with a View |

Kuwait resident Michael Armstrong no longer has a psychological breakdown when he visits his local barbershop, but it was an uncomfortable learning curve. |

Mystery Dinner |
|
I wrote this essay in part as a way to cheer myself up. I was feeling melancholy about losing a job and anxious about the future. It's about food and finding new friends in a foreign country, but also about staying open to possibilities. |

Almost Home |
|
Almost Home embodies the outsider’s search for belonging amidst the foreign and the familiar. Written from several vantage points of a narrator who seeks to find a sense of calm in the wake of turbulence and a center from the margins at best, Almost Home paints a bittersweet portrait of grief and loss, of comings and goings, of a shared nostalgia that propels us backwards and forwards, around and back home again. Just almost. |
