L'instant abans de l'impacte

Castro, Glòria de

The year in which a wave of suicides occurs at the French headquarters of a telecommunications company, the protagonist of this story goes to work for its subsidiary in Madrid. She soon finds herself subjected to mobbing: she is not given a single task. Every day she arrives at the office and faces six hours (reduced shift due to maternity) of nothing. All that empty time serves him to devise, in response, a plan of personal revenge against the global economy and labor policies. An intimate rebellion against society. She is forty years old, has two young children and an Argentine husband on a dubious tour as a rock star, and, waiting for a dismissal or compensation that has not yet arrived, for three hundred and sixty-five days she will realize how, As you cross off items on your shopping list, universal truths, faith in conciliation policies and in the efficacy of shampoos, and preconceived ideas of a happiness that may be possible fall away.
