Although not purely science fiction and definitely not hard science fiction, the book contains stories that have a futuristic angle or are purely works of fantasy set in current times.

All the stories except “The Porcelain Salamander” were first published elsewhere before appearing in the Unaccompanied Sonata collection.

All eleven of these stories were later published in Maps in a Mirror.
