Thirty-six stories that vary widely in plot, style and genre, blending the realistic with the fantastic and moving among all kinds of characters. Half of them deal directly with death, and through all of them blows a cold breeze, a reminder that everything is temporary, and with it an invitation to live precisely because of that. Some open like village tales about a grandfather and his walnut tree before veering off; others are parables, psychological sketches, lyrical prose or brief jokes, such as one about Bill and the great love of his life at a crossroads. Many are monologues addressed to a listener, and most end by turning the perspective around. Only a few draw on the author's own experience.
