".Here are stories that are intense, ironic, sinister, and violent, reflecting incisively the mores of a frightening world -- a world in which love is complex and difficult, in which evil is ordinary, in which senseless actions lead to even more senseless non sequiturs, in which religion becomes antiseptic, in which families and societies exploit one another.in which the enemy is imagined to be external, but is, in reality, within."
