Rather, we understand it as a universal idea, \u003cbr\u003eone that transcends national boundaries to comment on the most prevailing\u003cbr\u003easpects of the human condition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis attempt to redefine the borders of the world we live in through the\u003cbr\u003eshort story recognizes the many conflicting issues of race, language, economy, \u003cbr\u003egender and ethnicity, which separate and limit us.
