Michael Hoffman's characters are, willy-nilly, participants in
plots that don't add up. Some emerge stronger; others, shadows of
their former selves. The six stories and one novel that make up
this collection are set, wholly or primarily, in Japan, land of the
artful mask. Meet the man who loses his key and sets in motion a
chain of events whose incomprehensibility he will never understand;
a small girl who accosts a fugitive murderer (is he really a
murderer?) for sex, only to be admonished to go back to school; a
murdered boy who is resurrected (is he really?) and wreaks his mad
revenge; and, finally, Sidney Levin, whose reunion twenty years
later with a lost Japanese girlfriend ends in a hopeless
entanglement with her growing daughter.
