This novella consists of 4 tales, one of which takes up half the book then 3 shorts ones. Each is surprisingly unique. You'd be hard pressed to imagine they were written by the same author.
Each i guess has something to say about how we perceive the world around us (hence the title of the collection) but its a very tenuous connection.
The long tale is about a man who revisits his childhood home and tries to remember a strange incident that happened when he was young. Its like a Roald Dahl story for adults, pretty twisted but good. Each of the others has something to say about faith or perception but is wildly different in location and characters.
I don't process short stories as easily as long ones, so i wouldn't buy something like this but a very interesting borrow from the library, and i look forward to checking out some of Greene's other works :) . ( )

A small book with a few very short stories. Contains an unforgettable mysterious one called:
A Discovery in the Woods. Science fiction, yet no science fiction. Evoquing a memory of a civilization that once was. Children at play finding a boat, well , I can't describe the indescribable, but Greene managed. ( )
