Features: This book includes seven short stories by Max von Green, such as "The Decision," reflecting the lives of ordinary Americans in the 1960s and carrying certain social critique. In "The Decision," a welder aspires to become a foreman to fulfill his life's ambitions. However, when the current foreman decides to retire early due to health reasons, the man, who should have been happy, finds himself consumed by fear. In "Stenography," a single ordinary car accident vividly portrays the indifferent relationships between people in Western industrialized society. "The Porcupine" depicts the kindness of lower-class citizens and the bleak lives of miners in their later years.
