Book Synopsis



Una novela para leer a escondidas en la oficina.

La presentadora del pódcast Arsénico Caviar debuta con una afilada novela sobre una mujer harta del trabajo.

El descontento es la historia de Marisa, una mujer en sus treinta que vive anestesiada mediante ansiolíticos y videos de YouTube para soportar las rutinas y pesares de su día a día en una agencia de publicidad. Tan solo acude presencialmente a la oficina para ahorrar dinero en aire acondicionado durante el sofocante agosto madrileño. Marisa odia el trabajo. Sin embargo, no puede dejarlo: le gustan demasiado las cosas bonitas.

La semana previa a un team building organizado por su empresa, la ansiedad de Marisa se dispara; compartir un fin de semana entero con sus compañeros le resulta insoportable y el recuerdo enterrado de una tragedia ocurrida tiempo atrás vuelve para atormentarla. A medida que pasan los días, su máscara social, tan cuidada y pulida a lo largo de los años, se irá resquebrajando hasta hacerlo volar todo por los aires.

Esta novela es un dardo afilado que atraviesa al lector con cada palabra. Una radiografía magistral sobre las crisis vividas por cualquier persona que trabaja; sobre la soledad, la necesidad de vínculos y conexiones para encontrar la chispa y no tirarse delante de un autobús un lunes por la mañana.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A novel to read secretly in the office.

The host of the Arsénico Caviar podcast debuts with a sharp novel about a woman fed up with work.

Discontent is the story of Marisa, a woman in her thirties who lives anesthetized through anxiolytics and YouTube videos to endure the routines and sorrows of her day-to-day life in an advertising agency. Just go to the office in person to save money on air conditioning during Madrid's sweltering August. Marisa hates work. However, she can't give it up: she likes beautiful things too much.

The week before a team building organized by her company, Marisa's anxiety skyrockets; Sharing a whole weekend with her classmates is unbearable for her and the buried memory of a tragedy that occurred some time ago comes back to haunt her. As the days go by, his social mask, so neat and polished over the years, will crack until he blows everything up.

This novel is a sharp dart that pierces the reader with every word. A masterful x-ray of the crises experienced by anyone who works; about loneliness, the need for bonds and connections to find the spark and not throw yourself in front of a bus on a Monday morning.
