Synopses & Reviews
With widely varying characters and plots, these seven short stories describe everything from a young Czech girl coming of age to an Imperial Chinese chef who is increasingly unable to be truly creative and venture beyond his previous experiences. The common thread running through the tales is the idea that one must accept ones emotions and desires as being real, but only embrace the imagined as a way to find and express ones true self.
