Overview
""...the world has become ambiguous...[it] is encroaching and trying to consume everything," says Hayao Miyazaki. The world is ambiguous and we are confused. In the absence of good answers, we must learn to ask better questions. "During childhood when children don't have much power but feel angst," says Miyazaki, "fantasy gives some kind of salvation." Just as children find salvation in fantasy, so too can adults—and no dragons required. The eleven stories in this collection examine the action, and more often, inaction, of men living sad lives steeped in ambiguity, confusion, and angst. These stories attempt to celebrate the ambiguity, abide the confusion, and demonstrate the absurdism and comedy of our failure to find answers." -- Abstract
