About This Novel
This collection of short stories includes twenty short stories recently created by the author, such as "The Cook and the Cow", "Advanced Notes", and "Paradise in the Goose and Duck Shed". Strictly speaking, this is a collection of novels that explore the self. Whether it is the protagonist's helplessness about not being able to choose his own career in "The Cook and the Cow", or the second daughter's paranoia and incomprehension of her parents in "Keeping the Promise", or the male goose's complacency in his noble and unique position and his sympathy for the misfortune of his master A Wu in "The Goose and Duck Shed Paradise", to varying degrees, through the description of their respective controllable or uncontrollable fates, the necessity of the existence of "self" in this society is analyzed.
