Description
Stories in this collection range from the momentous efforts by a company chairman to maintain pride and position which badly backfire in the final paragraph of ‘Cause for Celebration’. A bystander’s observations of a struggling toddler inspire gloomy yet highly credible predictions concerning the child’s future life. In ‘Spring Festival’ the portrayal of wild landscape is as close to poetry as prose can get.
This is a collection of tales in which subject matter, mood, length and style vary greatly. There is, however, one distinctive subject raised sparingly but persistently throughout the diverse and always riveting stories: the recurrent question and enigma of ‘time’.
