Together, these stories, fragments and miniature gems reveal the breadth of his vision, his sense of the absurd, and above all his acute, uncanny wit.
It includes Contemplation, a collection of his earlier short studies
The Judgement, written in a single night of frenzied creativity
The Stoker, the first chapter of a novel set in America; and an eyewitness account of an air display.
