Publisher's Note
'Misunderstandings, uncertainties, belated understandings, useless remorse, treacherous memories, stupid and irredeemable mistakes, all these irresistibly fascinate me, ' the Italian writer Antonio Tabucchi remarks. 'Life is by nature ambiguous and distributes ambiguities among all of us.' This side of life is reflected in these eleven stories. Is it choice, fate, accident, or even, occasionally, a kind of magic that plays the decisive role in the protagonists' lives?

Industry Reviews
"There is in Tabucchi's stories the touch of the true magician, who astonishes us by never working too hard for his subtle, elusive, and remarkable effects."
San Francisco Examiner - Tom Dowling

"I, too, speak of ambiguities, but it's not so much that I like them: I am driven rather to seek them out. Misunderstandings, uncertainties, belated understandings, useless remorse...all these irresistibly fascinate me, as if they constituted a vocation, a sort of stigmata."
Note - Antonio Tabucchi
