Viele seiner Geschichten tragen autobiografische Züge: das Gefühl des Andersseins, der Wunsch nach Zugehörigkeit und die Kraft, trotz aller Widrigkeiten den eigenen Weg zu gehen.

At a lively gathering in a wealthy merchant’s home, a group of children reveal more than simple chatter—they reveal the values they’ve been taught.

Es erzählt von einem Soldaten, der nach dem Krieg mit nichts als seinem Mut und einem geheimnisvollen Feuerzeug in eine Welt gerät, in der Reichtum, Macht und Schicksal auf wundersame Weise miteinander verwoben sind.
