A mysterious and deadly plague suddenly appears among the inhabitants of an unnamed city. Shunned by family and friends, some of the afflicted have nowhere to finish out their days until a lone hair stylist decides to convert his "Salon to the Stars" into a refuge for the dying. A connoisseur of exotic fish whose many aquariums adorn the salon, he creates a kind of medieval hospice. Time passes, his "guests" continue to arrive and die, and his isolation becomes more and more complete. All the while, the multicolored fish bear silent witness to his almost saintly dedication. Without medicines, pity or moralizing, he dispenses care until he meets his own end, in this dream-like parable from one of Mexico's cutting-edge literary stars.

Risorse umane o carne da macello? Questa è la riflessione di Sophie Talneau, 28 anni, laureata in una prestigiosa università, alla ricerca del primo impiego. In un diario amaramente umoristico e tragicamente realistico, racconta la sua esperienza e delinea un ritratto ironico e impietoso del calvario che attende oggi neodiplomati e neolaureati senza più il mito del "posto fisso", ma con l'urgente necessità di guadagnarsi da vivere. Del resto si sa, il lavoro più ingrato e frustrante del mondo è cercare lavoro. E anche Sophie finisce in pasto a inquietanti selezionatori di personale che la torturano e la vivisezionano. Ma alla fine del colloquio la risposta è sempre la stessa: Le faremo sapere. Traduzione: addio!
