\u201eFie c\u0103 e vorba de scene biblice, fie c\u0103 e vorba de episoade contemporane, prozele scurte din volumul de fa\u021b\u0103 con\u021bin, aproape f\u0103r\u0103 excep\u021bie, c\u00e2te o fisur\u0103 prin care \u00ee\u0219i face loc \u00een contingentul obi\u0219nuit ceva altfel, o boare de dincolo.
