About this audiobook
Following years of unrequited love, an out-of-work schoolteacher decides to take matters into his own hands to win back his ex-girlfriend, triggering a chain of events that neither he nor his psychiatrist could have anticipated. Told in seven parts, through the viewpoints of seven different characters, Seven Types of Ambiguity is an engrossing psychological thriller and a literary masterpiece.
