Loneliness means you don’t have to disappoint anyone until you develop the habit of talking to yourself

At nineteen, Marcus is young and in love . . . again. When his latest crush, Adwoa, starts showing him true affection, Marcus is ready to reconsider his lifestyle – the drugs, the casual encounters. At least for a little while.

Now, before he knows it, Marcus is twenty-five. And history risks repeating itself.

Told through two parallel narratives – one past, one present – Borderline Fiction is a highly original and deeply affecting contemporary tale of what it means to be a young black man navigating today’s world.
