This collection contains eight short stories dealing with dissociated characters who strive for connection. Their displacement has, for the most part, a relation to age, place and status. A written discussion of character motivation and endings follows the text, where it is suggested that the characters here are motivated by their displacement, and that integration is never fully achieved.
