Abstract
dc:description.abstract<p>These chapters start off a novel that follows Simon Jones, a man brought back to the city of Decatur, Illinois by the death of his sister. Simon is left taking care of Jeffrey, a ten-year-old boy with an arm that loses skin constantly and glows a dull white. While Simon and Jeffrey navigate their grief and uncertain futures, the city is rocked by a series of murders that target “divergents,” people with physical abnormalities like Jeffrey’s arm. <em>The Wrong Side of Yesterday</em> is a novel that uses elements of magical realism and mystery to explore issues of grief, disability, poverty, and identity, all within the confines of a dying Midwestern city.</p>
