Summary
The birds revolt against mankind; the climber on Mount Verita discovers the awesome cost of giving your all to the mountains; a malformed apple tree bears an uncanny resemblance to a neglected wife; amusing herself with the little photographer has… far reaching consequences for the Marquise; love promised by a glowing stranger becomes a darker intimacy; family jealousies take an unexpectedly violent form; in these six stories, the weak, the dispossessed and the exploited wreak their revenge on a complacent world. 1992.
