Dream of a Ridiculous Man

*I am a ridiculous man. They call me mad now. That would be a promotion in rank* A delusional man whose strange dream changes his life; a self-justifying husband who causes his wife’s suicide; a witness to a young girl’s ruin; a writer who stretches out on a gravestone and listens to the gossip of the dead… the narrators of these four confessional tales show how little we understand ourselves.
