El mercader de alfombras (Spanish Edition)

Cyrus Irani can’t seem to find his place in the world. The son of Iranian immigrants, educated, introverted, he is content with seeing the days pass from his rug store on Manhattan’s Upper West Side; but the neighborhood, at its peak, is undergoing changes and the store’s rent is about to triple. Additionally, and in spite of his mother’s insistence that he needs to settle down, he has yet to find a woman with whom to share his life. His problems keep multiplying, while his chronic passivity doesn’t allow him to confront any of them. Pushed by his mother, his friends, and his punk nephew, Cyrus will try to rid himself of his deep-seeded sedentary habits.

Cyrus Irani no acaba de encontrar su lugar en el mundo. Hijo de inmigrantes iraníes, culto, introvertido, se conforma con ver pasar los días desde su oscura tienda de alfombras del Upper West Side de Manhattan; pero el barrio, en pleno auge, está cambiando y el alquiler de la tienda está a punto de triplicarse. Por otro lado, y a pesar de la insistencia de su madre para que siente la cabeza, todavía no ha encontrado una mujer con la cual compartir su vida. Los problemas se van multiplicando sin que su pasividad crónica le permita hacerles frente. Empujado por la insistencia de su madre, sus amigos y su sobrino punk, Cyrus intentará zafarse de sus arraigadas y sedentarias costumbres.
