Seventeen stories in which the author adopts various roles – immigrant child, doctor, deserted wife, tourist, jester – to tell of adjustment and maladjustment of migrants in a new land; of conflict between the generations; of individuals and communities doomed by time and by their own natures; of obsessed artists and rootless philosophers; and of impossible friendships and impossible loves.
