If I was told I have a day to live, I wouldn't go to rest. I will type faster!

Most literary books are sorted out by genre: either all poems, short stories, novellas, drama, or novels...etc. This book breaks this rule: it cooks novellas, with short stories, adds some spices of free writing, simmers them all with a pinch of theatrical effect to serve a hearty meal. No dessert is offered because it is a given after finishing this book.
