Opis
This collection of short stories depicts human relationships, encounters, landscapes and the multitude of details that make up human life.
'[Ki's] pen, often literally verging into eternity, does to his characters what nearly every known creed aspires to do to the human soul: it extends their existence, it erodes our sense of death's impenetrability.' --Joseph Brodsky
'Remarkable . . . A shadow of death darkens this book, but it is a beautiful shadow and a luminescent darkness.' --Josef Skvorecky, The New Republic
'This is one of the finest fantastic collections since Borges's Ficciones.' --Brendan Lemon, The Nation
