Somewhere at the far reaches of the immigrant trail, four economic refugees find solidarity and Christmas cheer. Conor McVarnock (b.1982) is a writer, historian and political activist based in Belfast, Northern Ireland. After turning his back on the general madness of academia he has been living life at the sharp end in the post millennial rat race. His interests run in many directions and his writing tries to tackle a range of subjects, usually with an awareness of the political and philosophical connotations of his work.
