    [synopsis] => Recollecting school escapades, ridding a house of lust, a practical joke misfiring, dealing with a boy's swearing, a talking dog, a woman's take on the Odysseus legend, dogged self-centredness, a suspect solution to the world's problems, bizarre seductions, an afterlife wish granted, a jinxed lover pursuing his beloved… These are some of the themes of the seventeen humorous short stories in Pursuit involving a variety of comic expressions: situational, satirical, burlesque and even the ridiculous. While the impact of humour in the stories is largely attributable to incongruity, or some departure from the 'normal', the stories have more than just entertainment value. They make telling and sometimes poignant observations about the nature of the human condition.
