The work captures life in Buenos Aires, focusing on contemporary social issues through its engaging narratives. Each story in the collection delves into different facets of human experience and societal challenges, revealing Cancela's keen observational prowess and thoughtfulness. The opening of the collection introduces one of the stories, "El Cocobacilo de Herrlin," focusing on the character Augusto Herrlin, a privat docent from Uppsala. He has started his new journey in Buenos Aires, where he aims to tackle a burgeoning rabbit plague threatening the agricultural landscape. The narrative unfolds the bureaucratic complexities that Herrlin faces upon his arrival, highlighting a mix of his scientific aspirations and the absurdities of the Argentine administrative system. Through Herrlin's experiences, the opening sets a tone ripe for exploration of themes such as scientific integrity, political irony, and the often convoluted intersection of progress and bureaucracy in society.
