Summary:
"A collection of eight stories about the grim and often faceless nature of urban life. Faintly reminiscent of Franz Kafka, the stories range from that of a man discovering his job performance has no significance while taking refuge in caring for an abandoned rabbit, to a man who finally expresses his love only to discover that his expression frightened him more than his anticipatory fear. Evening Proposal reissues the warning that the systems civilization has created to order nature's chaos are in fact failed projects, deadening the very human beings they are meant to protect."-- Provided by publisher.
