2013. aastal Nobeli preemiaga pärjatud Kanada kirjaniku uusima novellikogu kohta on autor mõista andnud, et see jääb tema viimaseks teoseks. Sel juhul on kahtlemata tegemist väärika punktiga, kuna antudki kogumikus tabab autor nüansirikkalt ja köitvalt pealtnäha tavaliste inimeste elusaatusi ja hingemaailma. Autor viib lugeja äratundmisele, kui ohtlik ja kummaline on tegelikult meie igapäevane elu.
