Abstract:
The stories here are stories of childhood. To me, they concern the shift between
dependence to independence, comfort to instability, which is disastrous for the characters but
also a point of awakening. The move from childhood to adulthood puts the characters in a
world that is neither made for the adult or the child, but someplace between these two. It's
here that a kind of mystery-in the sense of wonder, terror and subsequently, grace-exists.
