The View from Mount Dog

Twelve stories, introduced by the author who gives something of the background to the title - Chimerides, the Cynic philosopher, exiled to Mount Dog for the 'excessive venom of his political criticisms' and whose works 'survive only in fragments quoted by contemporaries', eg 'Belief is merely a failure of doubt: beware' - and the tone of some of the stories.
