Když smrtelníci spí (While Mortals Sleep)

Více o knize

These are stories about how people and machines, art and craft, and the ideals of wealth, fame, and love can lead to strange twists in ordinary lives. A man managing an army of bulldozers, graders, and asphalt layers builds roads while wasting his time playing with miniature trains—until the woman in his life shatters this dream world. A dreamy young girl trapped in a stenography pool receives an intriguing offer from a tape left by a fugitive robber. A grumpy journalist, forced to be a jury member on a committee evaluating Christmas lights, encounters both a former convict who casts suspicion on his lavish lifestyle and then a miracle. A widow living on her late husband's pig farm begins receiving mysterious, unexpected letters about "the indescribable sweet pains of the soul" from a man in Schenectady. What will she find when she goes to meet him?
