1.All the stories have two clues
ne is realistic,the other dreamlike;
2.The writer always uses images which make others confused (such as bull,crow...);actually he tries to create atmosphere of suffocation and depression (in my opinion);
3.There're always two kinds of girls
ne is normal and near this life,the other a little idealistic and can hardly get involved in the society;
4.The leading characters all have a similar personality;they always pay more attention to the second type of girls;they themselves belong to the second type in the heart,but they never show that;many time they feel sad and depressed,but they just try to avoid thinking of the sorrow;
5.All these stories don't say the sadness out directly,and that's why lots of people like them cause they seem closer to ordinary people than many other stories;
6.But after all they all show us a life of desperation;
... ...
That's what I think about.
