Branzger, a man living under a pseudonym, moves between phone conversations, neighbor surveillance, brothels, roulette and bodybuilding.

The work was originally published in 1979; this hardcover edition appeared in March 2013. The cover reproduces a roulette wheel.
For readers of contemporary German literature and narrative focused on desire and obsession.
