Ranging from French country manors to Tel Aviv attics, these stories follow half-mad, or half-sane, characters: a blacksmith with a gift for cooking, a farmer growing poems among the parsley, a retired forest ranger, a kind beauty with one dark crime in her past. Lone individuals take on huge powers, from God to the national lottery, in fights lost in advance.
