Flaw

A city square with a tram is called into being before the reader's eyes, and the narrator, like a demiurge, keeps trying out versions of the same scenes with his figures: a notary with a family, a radical student, a drowsy policeman, a young maid. Nothing is said outright, but there seems to be a coup: shares fall, property loses value, a broker tries to reach the notary, and an unknown face in uniform appears in a photographer's window. The novel is a parable about the world in general rather than a realistic story.
