In this humorous, offbeat novel, Israel, a salesman at a small store tucked away inside a larger store on the ground level of Madrid’s most important shopping mall, accidentally picks up a self-help book at the library that promises he will be a better person if he only adopts a “fluid” lifestyle. So it is that he determines to face life’s circumstances with a surrealistic serenity, only to find himself sliding into nihilism. The events of the story take place during a single, feverish day, and offer up the shopping mall as a mirror for all of reality and Israel himself as an archetype of modern man.

En esta novela humor�stica y exc�ntrica, Israel, un vendedor en una peque�a tienda empotrada dentro de otra tienda situada en la planta baja del centro comercial m�s importante de Madrid, por accidente se lleva de la biblioteca un libro de autoayuda que promete convertirlo en mejor persona s�lo si adopta un estilo de vida fluido. As� es que procura enfrentarse a las circunstancias de la vida con una serenidad surrealista, s�lo para encontrarse descendiendo al nihilismo. Los eventos de la historia transcurren a lo largo de un solo d�a febril, y presentan el centro comercial como un espejo de la realidad entera y a Israel mismo como un arquetipo del hombre moderno.
