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 humoristica y excentrica, Israel, un vendedor en una pequena tienda empotrada dentro de otra tienda situada en la planta baja del centro comercial mas importante de Madrid, por accidente se lleva de la biblioteca un libro de autoayuda que promete convertirlo en mejor persona solo si adopta un estilo de vida fluido. Asi es que procura enfrentarse a las circunstancias de la vida con una serenidad surrealista, solo para encontrarse descendiendo al nihilismo. Los eventos de la historia transcurren a lo largo de un solo dia febril, y presentan el centro comercial como un espejo de la realidad entera y a Israel mismo como un arquetipo del hombre moderno."
