A collection of this person's short plays is entitled The Other Shore; other collections of short works include one entitled after a bird, A Pigeon Called Red Beak, and one containing stories about a cyclist being hit by a bus and about a swimmer almost drowning to find he is not at all missed. "The Accident" and "Cramp" appear along with the titular story about a mnemonic fiberglass object in his A Fishing Rod for My Grandpa. Busses are a recurring theme in his work: a bus features in his controversial Fugatives; one of his best-known plays is Bus Stop; and probably his best-known work begins with a man purportedly stricken with cancer buying an old bus to undertake a journey to the titular Buddhist-Daoist shrine, Soul Mountain.
