Welsh author Rhys Hughes has recently published a book inspired by a series this man wrote for the newspaper The Critic. This man's protagonists include a secretary of a municipal library anxious to read a rare edition of The Arabian Nights' Entertainments, an Englishman with a vicious scar across his face, and a man given the appellation "Chronometer" before he dies from pulmonary failure. He was obsessed with the ideas of Heraclitus, as can be seen in a story about a man who worships a fire god and creates a man in his image, only to find out that he was created in a similar fashion. That story, "The Circular Ruins," is featured in a collection that also contains stories like "The Lottery of Babylon," "The Garden of the Forking Paths" and "Pierre Menard, Author of the Quixote."
