Short story initially written for a literary course at University, now translated to English as part of an application for an internship.
The story tackles the reality of the lower social classes in a fictional reality that will undoubtedly feel familiar to the survivors of year 2020.
I chose this story because I felt quite satisfied with the original, but sadly there's also a lot lost in translation. Still worth the reading I hope.
