In this novella, Lee Kok Liang expresses compassion for those who are too timid to be fully human and for outcasts who dare to be different ... As the Australian scholar John Barnes points out, Lee's art illustrates "his finely tuned awareness of how the seemingly trivial and ephemeral can be made expressive of the inner reality."
