A couple starts to suffer the consequences of unemployment and precariousness; he decides to join a new political organization while she remains hopelessly waiting for everything to settle down. The employee of a modern enterprise tries to deal with his profound admiration for his boss and his impoverishing conditions at work. An uneducated and unemployed young man decides to move back to his aunt's house in order to save rent money, and the cohabitation between them will provoke many new conflicts. This novel is about the impact of the economic crisis in Spanish society but it is also, like any other truly literary novel, a story about life and how we decide to live it. Una pareja comienza a sufrir las consecuencias del desempleo y la precariedad; ???l decide incorporarse a una nueva organizaci???n pol???tica mientras que ella procura en vano que todo siga igual. El empleado de una moderna empresa trata de conciliar la arrebatadora fascinaci???n que le provoca su jefe con el progresivo deterioro de sus condiciones laborales. Un joven sin cualificaci???n se queda en paro y, para ahorrarse el alquiler, decide irse a vivir con su t???a septuagenaria; la convivencia entre los dos har??? aflorar serios conflictos pero tambi???n, quiz???, una nueva forma de entendimiento. Los cambios causados por la crisis nos afectan m???s profundamente de lo que pudi???ramos pensar: influyen de manera decisiva en c???mo nos relacionamos y en la percepci???n que tenemos de nosotros mismos, provocando enfrentamientos y reacciones que en otras circunstancias nos hubieran parecido impensables. Asamblea ordinaria es una novela sobre el impacto de la crisis econ???mica en la sociedad espa???ola actual pero, como toda obra aut???nticamente literaria, es tambi???n una historia sobre la vida y sobre c???mo decidimos vivirla.
