English title: Looking at Harry and other stories
From New York to Tanzania, these short stories are all about “the other side of the coin”. An unkind aid-worker, a judge who becomes immoral, a terrorist who is likeable, a man who has to sit next to his best friends body for two days, are just a few of the characters presented in these six stories. Each story shines an uncomfortable light upon some of the lies we tell ourselves when it comes to simply recognising good from bad.
