About This Book

A collection of linked novellas that probe inward moral and psychological conflicts through intimate episodes: jealousy over a spouse who finds possible autobiography in her partner's fiction; episodes of illness, convalescence, sleepwalking, and ideological struggle; encounters that blur art and life and expose secret passions, misunderstandings, and the artist's semi-conscious creative process. The stories move between domestic crises, medical curiosities, and moral introspection, showing how private impulses and imagined characters invade daily life and reshape relationships, leaving unresolved tensions about identity, responsibility, and the hidden forces within.
