- Abstract
- en_US This paperbound work consists of two stories and two plays. I read the first story, Birth. The narrator, an abortionist doctor, finds himself losing sexual desire and envying his successful colleague. A sexual episode with his nurse assistant seems to lead him to a dreamlike wandering search inside her body, from which he--with his rival colleague--can escape again only by being born. I do not find anything here that relates particularly to fables as I pursue them. The front and back covers of this work are cleverly paired: not only does the back cover's photograph show the back of the author, but the colored letters of the back cover are seen from the back in just the positions that they had on the front cover. Photographs before and a life after the four works introduce the reader to the author.
