Summary:

This collection of stories describes a modern urban society in its extraordinary complexity, its absence of fixed values, and its resistance to easy understanding. Set mainly in California, they portray a world where dreams conflict with reality, where perception fills the space between truth and fiction, logic and emotion, fantasy, and disaster.
