The story "Mysteries and Happenings" was published 1978 in the time when postmodernism wasn't so popular. Mysteries were little known from the history of theatre, but rarely anybody knew what were "the happenings" - just like today. However this genre of performing arts was practised amongst the intellectuals. During 70s Margeris Zarins was already acknowledged sixty years old composer, author of several opera and oratories and impressive film music. The heroes of the story are nevertheless youngsters who in a way are grasping to comprehend the world. Mysteries and happenings is the individual way of the young people to discover the ageless, universal questions of the existence. Today Margeris Zarins is called the father or the Latvian post modernism (Guntis Berelis) and "Mysteries and Happenings" can be judged as one of the brightest writing examples in Latvian literature.
