As stated on web page, the stories in this collection are mostly short short stories (2-5 pages) along with a 90 page novella. All the writing was done in the 1980's while the author lived in the US. The writing ranges from the purely fictional to near autobiography, usually hovering somewhere in between. At times humorous, at times sad, these tales tell the stories of characters that are often lost or disjunct from society but are generally sympathetic. The author is influenced by the American poet Charles Bukowski but treads his own ground. Other influences would include Celine, Fante, and Hamsun.
