1953 முதல் 1984 வரை பல்வேறு கால கட்டங்களில், சூழ்நிலைகளில் எழுதப்பட்ட இந்த நூலில் இடம் பெற்றுள்ள 16 சிறுகதைகளும் உணரவுகளின் ஊர்வலமாக வலம் வருகின்றன. இவை மனித வாழ்க்கையின் பலவிதமான மனப்போக்குகளை பிரதிபலிக்கும் வகையில் வியப்பூட்டும் கதைகளாக அமைந்துள்ளன.
அறுபது ஆண்டுகளுக்கு முன்னர் எழுதப்பட்ட இச்சிறுகதைகள் இன்றைய நவீன சூழலுக்கும் பொருத்தமாக அமைந்திருப்பது ஆச்சரியம்.
