Whether summer or winter, war or peace - the strange is always on the move. Land would be distributed, the mother had written, and Esau Matt has returned to Bossdom. Nearly two decades have passed, and a world war lies behind them. Once again, Esau's life is intertwined with the fates of the Bossdomers. Time and again, I try to fathom whether storytelling is a bad habit or a disease of mine, whether life, of which I am a part, has chosen to express itself through my chatter, whether I should uncover or highlight something in my storytelling that might be overlooked in mere existence - that would be the most favorable and cherished reason for me.
