"The Emperor of Elam and Other Stories" by H. G. Dwight is a compilation of short tales from the early 1900s that examines human connections and the unexpected results of decisions people make as various characters deal with their feelings and what society expects from them. The collection starts with the title story, focusing on Michael, who appears normal until bafflingly vanishing soon after traveling for work, leaving behind his wife, Aurora, to face his sudden departure and explore themes of identity, grief, and unexpected twists of destiny, all told with a mix of reflection, humor, and subtle irony.
