The narrator has landed a temporary post in a government office and is studying for the civil-service exams that should secure her future. But what she sees every day in a huge, closed-off building, with hierarchies she cannot make sense of and where no one tells her what her job is, leads her to improvise, pretend to be busy and record her unease in drawings and poems.

Why we only look at used copies

In Spain, Law 10/2007 fixes the price of new books: the publisher sets it and shops can only take 5% off. Amazon, FNAC and your local bookshop all cost the same. The only place the price moves is second-hand.
