Title: Saint Francis of Esplanade
First published: 2000
Description: Sixty-two year-old Francis Amable is a born-again Catholic. His thirty-three year old neighbour Lazarus Fricker is a nightclub tripper. Francis considers it his god-given duty to reform all sinners. Lazarus, considers it his sacred right to convert everyone to his own brutally-honest perspective. These two opposites conduct their daily verbal battles within the confines of an Esplanade Street rooming house. Between boisterous, warm-hearted Marguerite Feuille, former janitor's ghost, and homophobic neighbour George Parko, the situation reels from one extreme to the next.
