தொகுப்பின் பெரும்பாலான கதைகள் கடைத்தெருவின் மனிதர்களை மையப்படுத்தியவை. அன்றாடத்தில் / தற்செயலில் நாம் கடந்து வந்திருக்கும் கதைகளைக் கூறுபவை.

தொகுப்பின் மற்றுமோர் முக்கிய அம்சம் நாஞ்சில் நாடன் அவர்களின் அற்புதமான முன்னுரை. ஒருவகையில் இத்தொக்குப்புக்கு மட்டுமானதாக இல்லாமல் ஒட்டுமொத்த சிறுகதைகளையும் பேசும் முன்னுரை அது.
