Publisher's Synopsis
A book containing short stories and personal essays touching on some of the most salient experiences of the author's life. Written from a position of aloneness; existence is experienced from the outside of social structure and commonality. The theme of this book, a person's existential need and awareness of themselves. To venture causes anxiety, but not to venture is to lose one's self....And to venture in the highest sense is precisely to become conscious of one's self. (Kierkegaard)
