Apart from the first two pieces, 'The Weekly Lesson' and 'The Weekly Confession', which date from as early as 1976, all the rest of the short stories or works of short prose, as I prefer to call them, collected together here were written between 1979�84 in fairly successive vein, and demonstrate a more philosophically oriented, if not always integrated, approach to the genre which would indicate that, in the five or so years during which I wrote them, I had gravitated away from pure fiction or even poetic fiction towards the philosophical concerns which were to increasingly occupy me in the years to come, not least in respect of an ideological approach to philosophy which was to colour many of the pieces in this collection and cause me to think of them as an adjunct to my purely intellectual writings.� In fact, the inclusion of an aphoristic appendix, which originally followed the piece 'Dream Compromise' (The concluding piece in the eBook version of this title [see below]) �in what was formerly a separate volume, and indeed one of a number of such volumes, should testify to my inclination to regard short prose and aphoristic philosophy as two sides of the same metaphysical coin, the prose in question being anything but story-like, in what usually transpires, contrary to the literary grain, to be a series of monologues with transcendental overtones. � John O�Loughlin.
