Summary:

"Two men who are part of a commune discover two dead bodies while out sailing. A woman hits a boy with her car and contemplates turning herself in. A former military policeman, a veterinarian, and a French poet walk into a bar and debate the Vietnam war. Two paramedics try to live and not burn out while dealing with so much death. A man on holiday in Venice is stalked by a pickpocket. A heartsick astronaut finds love on the moon. Jarman, a master of the short story, returns with another collection with his distinct and piercing voice, each sentence bursting with energy."-- Provided by publisher.
