Abstract
I have tried the first five or six of these fifteen stories, and the accent is clearly on fairy tale. The stories tend to include large doses of magic, dreams, and even fairies. In a typical story a man with something in his eye makes his way through New York and mysteriously collects a crowd. It turns out that he has pity in his eye in the most pitiless city in the world. A clever prologue story locates the book in the pocket of a suit sold for $1.75 by a poet who needed money to buy a rose for his lady love. This prologue story indulges in some of the strongest anti-semitism I have seen in print.
