A suave interstellar trader from Rosario regales a café-bound confidante with witty, possibly unreliable tales of journeys to strange planets, each a self-contained fable that probes power, habit, gender, and commerce. Through an episodic, conversational frame, the stories blend speculative wonder with sly social satire, featuring curious economies, time loops, and single-sex societies.
