Publisher's Synopsis
The book is a collection of nine short stories with a wide range of themes. The plot of each of the stories is based in realism but subtly takes a turn towards existential understanding. The stories outline the transition and difference between the philosophical ideas of Nihilism and Existentialism. Each story unfolds in its own way and ends by its own means, as is the way with life. Doing so highlights the similarities between the stories: the significance and importance of a second-chance. Through forcing the characters to grasp the subjective nature of the perceptions of life they are allowed to see their circumstances with more optimistic tones.
