Compartments - Tapa blanda

On a strange train journey, in a series of six compartments, a traveler experiences unpredictable encounters, culminating in a meeting of epiphanic power. Through a narrative of dreamlike sharpness Compartments taps into the fears and absurdities, the beauties and mysteries of the unconscious mind, to achieve a consummation both moving and full of hope. This volume also contains the novella "The Square," an uplifting meditation on the restorative power of Art, and "The Teashop," a superb new novelette about storytelling and the miraculous weavings of Fate, along with "The Telephone" and "First Photograph."
