In "Mr. Green," the female protagonist confronts her grandfather's oppressive influence in the form of a parrot with the dead man's voice. A woman in "The Trip Back" receives a perfect healing gesture for her grief, from her husband who considers himself completely incapable of poetry. A New Orleans strip joint seems an unlikely place for a bar girl to find the love of her life - but that's what happens in "Fairy Tale." The married couple in "Love" finds that mixing voodoo and jealousy makes a comic kind of magic. And in the title story, "A Good Scent from a Strange Mountain," the ghost of Ho Chi Minh appears to an old man in his last few days on earth.
