Bon voyage Mr. President and other stories

Four short stories, published as a Penguin 60, all taken from GGM's Strange Pilgrims.
Having written this review, I have now stuck it is a spoiler, as with stories so short it is hard not to give plot information... but no more than other reviews have... and I don't think I have spoiled them...
The title story tells of an ousted South American President, in Geneva for medical treatment, and living a paupers life. His interactions with a former countryman and his wife end very different from how they were anticipated at their meeting. 4.5/5.Sleeping Beauty on the Airplane - a tale of love at first sight, unrequited love, and a tale of inaction. 3.5/5.'I Only Came to Use the Phone' - a horror story of circumstance. A woman whose car breaks down attempts to solicit help - to use their telephone, only to be locked away with the other lunatics. 4/5.Light is Like Water - Magical realism in the wild imagination of two children. I have never really been a huge fan of magical realism presented as a story in a 'normal setting'. One of the boys asks why the lights went on with just a flick of the switch, and the narrator flippantly responds, “Light is like water. You turn the tap and out it comes.” After that the boys ask their parents for a boat, and each time their parents go out they break a light-bulb and let light pour out to a depth of three feet, and go sailing around the house. 2/5

So an overall 3.5, rounded up to 4 stars.
