Synopsis
Life can’t go on like this – can it?
This book is for everyone who has ever wanted more: more time, more meaning, more connection.
A sexy and hilarious Spanish bestseller, where a young woman's office persona threatens to crack when she’s forced to attend her company’s annual retreat.

'An impressive new comic talent' Daily Telegraph

On the surface, Marisa’s life looks enviable. She lives in a nice apartment in the heart of Madrid, her friendly neighbour and lover Pablo lives downstairs, and she’s risen quickly through the ranks at a successful advertising agency.
And yet Marisa hates her job and everything about it. Over one hot summer she finds herself in danger of being exposed when she’s forced to deliver a talk on creativity at a horrendous team-building retreat. Surrounded by psychopathic bosses, flirty facilitators, and an excess of drugs, Marisa is pushed to the brink of a complete spiral.
Discontent is a bold, biting novel about acting on our wilder impulses to reclaim our lives from work.

‘I adored our heroine... A razor-sharp debut’ Anna Dorn, author of Perfume and Pain

Etat : As New. : Discontent es una novela audaz y mordaz que explora la angustia moderna y la búsqueda de significado en un mundo laboral asfixiante. La historia sigue a Marisa, una joven que, a pesar de tener una vida aparentemente envidiable en Madrid y un puesto exitoso en una agencia de publicidad, se siente profundamente insatisfecha. Su fachada de éxito comienza a desmoronarse durante un retiro de empresa, donde, rodeada de jefes psicópatas y dinámicas absurdas, se ve obligada a enfrentarse a sus propios impulsos y a la necesidad de recuperar su vida.Con un humor ácido y una narrativa incisiva, Beatriz Serrano nos presenta un relato sobre la desconexión, el agotamiento profesional y el deseo de romper con las expectativas sociales. Es una obra que resuena con cualquiera que haya sentido la presión de la cultura corporativa actual, ofreciendo una mirada honesta y divertida sobre cómo encontrar la libertad en medio del caos.
