About This Book

A collected edition gathers novels, plays, short stories and essays by the author, including a multi-volume family chronicle that traces several generations of a possessive, property-minded clan. The central saga follows marital strain and shifting loyalties as characters confront beauty, desire and the limits of ownership, particularly in tensions between an obsessive husband, a quietly resistant woman, and their extended relations whose choices shape the next generation. Interwoven are standalone novels, short tales and plays that probe artistic, social and moral questions; essays and studies reflect on art, drama and social change, producing a broad portrait of human attachment, inheritance, and the persistence of the past.
