The stories delve into various themes, combining elements of fantasy, psychological exploration, and often featuring surreal or supernatural occurrences. The collection begins with a lively chapter that introduces a rowing club in Vienna and its eccentric members, particularly focusing on Rudi, an athlete, and Pepi Staudacher, the steerer, amid a backdrop of camaraderie and competition. At the start of the work, the narrative captures the excitement and tension in a rowing club as the team prepares for a significant race. The atmosphere is filled with a sense of joy and anticipation as the characters engage in camaraderie, training, and playful banter. However, there is an undercurrent of rivalry and pressure as the crew faces an overwhelming defeat that causes tension within the team, revealing themes of ambition and disillusionment. The chapter sets a whimsical yet introspective tone for the collection, hinting at deeper explorations of human experience and emotion in the stories that follow.
