It's the original stories re-edited, as well as some classic articles and columns on a range of subjects such as publishing, fame, dates, and the dole.

As they attend the wake, the members of the family recall the tragedy that involves them all.

The storm arrives, unbidden yet unstoppable, sculpting the world in reckless white. The north wind, a faceless mason, works without plan or patience—bastions rise, wreaths drape, roads vanish.

What remains is a frozen wonder, a masterpiece of whim and force, too perfect to last, too wild to be remade.
