- Summary:
- Selin's stories resemble videoclips in form and are just as visual, sparkling with maxims, aphoristic comparisons and witticisms. They are usually based on some fantastic plot involving fantastic metamorphoses happening to his characters and conveying Selin's wonder at life's inscrutable mysteries and inimitable beauty.
