Description:

Even if he could only make one person happy throughout his life, that was enough to bring him happiness as well (A Person’s Happiness). When the woman cried in her mother's arms, she realized she had been truly crying since she was a child actress (The Face). "Now, try again to walk through that tree trunk to see if you are still alive or already dead. If you are dead, we can enter the tree together and live there" (Immortality). "Cerita-Cerita Telapak Tangan" (Palm-of-the-Hand Stories) appear simple, often describing a single small event with short sentences and paragraphs, but beneath this simplicity lies a deep imaginative and associative quality, leading to diverse interpretations.
