Cinderella's sisters surgically modify their feet to win the prince's love. A werewolf gathers up enough courage to visit a dentist. A medium trying to reach the afterworld gets a recorded message. A fox and a badger compete to out-fool each other. Whether writing of insomnia from a mosquito's point of view or showing us what happens after the princess kisses the frog, Ana Mar a Shua, in these fleet and incandescent stories, is nothing if not pithy--except, of course, wildly entertaining. Some as short as a sentence, these microfictions have been selected and translated from four different books. Flashes of insight, cracks of wit, twists of logic, and quirks of language: these are fictions in the distinguished Argentinean tradition of Borges and Cort zar and Denevi, as powerful as they are brief. One of Argentina's most prolific and distinguished writers, and acclaimed worldwide, Shua displays in these microfictions the epitome of her humor, riddling logic, and mastery over our imagination. Now, for the first time in English, the fox transforms itself into a fable, and "the reader is invited to find the tail."Binding Type: Paperback

Okay for privacy, not a sound wall
Color: Gray, Size: 72" wide, 66" Tall
Ordered this for a home office, it is easy to put the panels together, one man job. They look nice, stand up well, and gave privacy and seperation. You can tack a white board to them.
These panels have absolutely no sound reducing properties that I can ascertain, so if you are ordering them as 'accoustic" type panels you will probably be disappointed.
For making a cubicle they perform well.

I DO NOT RECOMMEND
Color: Dark Gray, Size: 72" wide, 66" Tall
I got this primarily for the acoustic wall feature but it does not block any sound whatsoever. It's just a mobile, overpriced wall. The only privacy it provides it blocking you from view but the same could be done with some cardboard for a fraction of the price.
Not only is it not as described but they are requiring that I pay not only to ship it back for return but is also requiring that I pay for the shipping label. So I will be paying around $150 to get my $400 refund. Unacceptable. DO NOT BUY

These work great for home office.
Color: Gray, Size: 24" wide, 66" Tall
I was looking for something to block background for a home office, so I wouldn't have to use the distracting background filters. These work great and give my backdrop a more professional appearance. They are very easy to install. The box arrived with a few shipping holes, but packaging was sufficient to avoid any product damage.
