The arbitrariness

The novel is the absurd attempt by writer Luise Abgottspon to guide her "client" Vera back to life. In a race against Vera's impending self-abandonment, she writes her seven stories. Each is meant to make a completely different scenario of a future life imaginable for her. These are provocative recipes with which Vera could break free from her misery: shedding her victim mentality. Or living out desires for revenge. Becoming more attuned to manipulation.
