The Chinese version is introduced for the first time, including "Dogs", "Stories", "Vanity", "When Women Get Old", "Old Women and Cats", "Lies" and "Glass Slaughterhouse", a total of seven stories.

It uses speculative dialogue and psychological portrayal to create a female image with rich heart and distinctive personality. The story is concise but meaningful, presenting Coetzee's deep thinking on the nature of human morality and the situation of life. A reader's comment on the Goodread page reads: "The seven stories are all shallow and profound. Some passages need to be read repeatedly to understand the author's meaning. I will keep this book and read it frequently 20 years later." "When I first heard about Coetzee, the Nobel Prize winner, I thought his novels were difficult and obscure; after reading these stories, I found that his style is actually clear, profound, and light."

This collection of short stories by Gianni Cerati, the most acclaimed Italian avant-garde novelist after Calvino, uses the eyes of an archaeologist to rediscover the everyday strangeness in modern life on the Po Plain. The thick fog of the Po River plain fills the shots of Antonioni and Wenders, where the author roams and listens, using 30 short stories to form a complete picture. People who develop perpetual motion machines all day long, children who run away to get rid of boredom, women who listen to the passing of time on their commute... In a boring world, watch the lines of time and glimpse the shadows cast by the light that constructs reality. The 30 short stories bring the simplicity and freshness of "The Decameron", through the faint atmosphere of "Dublins", and leap into the miracle of modern daily life. Cerati's stories, like Morandi's still lifes, lack grand landscapes and focus on discovering the strangeness of everyday life. To borrow the words of John Berger, it is filled with "the loneliness of sunlight reflecting between buildings."
