He says in the forward:
‘A distinguished American writer of fiction said to me lately: ‘Did you ever think of the vital American way we live? We are always going after mental gymnastics.’ Now the mystery story is mental gymnastics. … The stories of this collection cover a wide range and are the choice of reading in several literatures.’
