"The Paradox Players by Maureen Duffy, delves into the lives of a diverse and eccentric group of individuals who reject conventional societal norms. Set along the Thames River, the story follows characters living on dilapidated houseboats, reflecting a bohemian, defiant existence. Among them is Sym, a disillusioned writer struggling with personal failures in his career and marriage. He becomes romantically involved with Cassie, an enigmatic older woman whose transient presence adds to the novel’s sense of instability and mystery. Duffy uses the bleak winter setting to evoke the tangible hardships of their lifestyle, complete with rats and the physical discomfort of damp, cold living conditions, making these “players” both sympathetic and distinct in their alienation from society."
