About This Book
A short-story collection portrays a range of encounters and interior lives, chiefly between men and women, from young yearning and flirtation to mature solitude and estrangement. Episodes move between urban cafés, museums and private rooms, tracing longing, self-consciousness, artistic aspiration, jealousy and the compromises of social roles. Characters confront desire, loneliness and misunderstandings while reflecting on art, memory and identity; some narratives emphasize small domestic crises, others dwell on inner isolation, producing a varied mosaic of intimate moods and moral ambiguities.
