Summary:
"Somebody erased your precious recording. Your tenants rolled your beautiful boulders into the lake. You're suddenly unemployed, too old for retraining, too young for seniors' assistance. Nobody invited you to the paradigm shift. After decades of toil you realize you'll never learn that second language. A high rise is going to block your view of the river. Your Robin Hood scheme to aid the dispossessed is about to collapse. The flood in the basement isn't water alone. In nine memorable new stories and with tragicomic flair, acclaimed master of the short form
