As well as being highly enjoyable, Otgur's tales are works of very real philosophical exploration. These five imaginative stories range over such subjects as the permanence of evil, the purpose of death, the plight of the artist, the route to happiness, and whether poverty or wealth is freedom. Witty, allusive, searching, and endlessly inventive, these are the essential works of a master of the modern philosophical tale.
"Interesting and highly original ... really moving and gripping." --Chapman Magazine
