It is true that "Breathing Method", the shortest of the four new, is a notch below the others.
For me his master stroke here, "Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption", the story of an escape, beautiful new about friendship and perseverance of a man.
"Some birds are not meant to be caged, that's all. Their feathers are too colorful, too free and their beautiful singing. So we let them go, or they fly off when you open the cage to feed them. A part of you, the one who initially knew it was wrong to imprison rejoices, but the place where you live is found after his departure all the more sad and empty. "
Very good book.
