A property developer fears that a burgeoning
ibis population will prevent the construction of a high rise apartment complex; a
bus stop outside a dementia care facility in D�sseldorf suffers its own
identity crisis; a
young man's new job requires him to pose as a woodcutter and wave at a trainload
of tourists; an aging, reclusive archivist becomes locked in a strange battle
of wills with a courier; a backpacker in Israel has a bizarre religious
experience.
In these award winning stories, David Cohen explores
the oddities of human behaviour with wit, affection and startling
brilliance.
