  • "Beneath the wit and humour of these nine stories there is a seriousness which reveals the loneliness that barriers, built by nations, may impose on man. The title story, set in a Spanish coastal town, illuminates the instinctive communion of an old, illiterate fisherman and a shipwrecked Albanian. "Dreams of Papua", is a biting satire of the American cult of mediocrity and aggressive defence. "The Gift of a Dog" describes the English upper classes: their inherited attitude to marriage is dissected in an almost allegorical tale with a macabre twist."
