The word-music of the stories is arranged in the form and framework of a classical symphony. There are four symphonic movements: First comes the \u003ci\u003eAndante\u003c\/i\u003e, a going-along in a sequence of events, a narrative, a story. Next is an \u003ci\u003eAdagio\u003c\/i\u003e, the slowing down on the path of sorrow; these stories are tragic. A contrast is provided by the \u003ci\u003eScherzo\u003c\/i\u003e, jokes, tales with tongue-in-cheek. The grand finale of the \u003ci\u003eAllegro\u003c\/i\u003e is the happy ending.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe themes of the stories are some of the most basic: Longing for love, finding love, suffering disappointment in love, and losing love. Sex as farce. Ambition and the frustration of ambition. Music, art, literature, and our electronic technoculture. The individual in society. Moral and immoral. Sane, insane, and doubts about which is which.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eSymphony of Stories\u003c\/i\u003e.
