En esta novela enormemente divertida, no exenta de humor negro, el lector penetra en la tienda y en la vida de una familia, los Tuvache, dedicada desde hace generaciones a la venta de productos (sogas para ahorcarse, toda clase de venenos, armas, etc.) que cualquier suicida debe tener a mano para el momento en que decida abandonar este mundo. Los Tuvache se sienten orgullosos de su trabajo y de su reconocida eficacia profesional, hasta que el menor de sus vastagos empieza a dar muestras inquietantes: es un nino alegre, al que le entusiasma la risa... nada de lo que esperan de el. / The Suicide Shop, set in a futuristic world, is about the Tuvache family who sells the means for people to kill themselves (ropes tied for hanging, poison in bottles, and more). Mishima, Lucrece, and their children Vincent, Marilyn, and Alan are in the business to help others, though they cannot personally use any of their products. When asked why not, their mother replies that Ive told you a hundred times: because its impossible. Whod look after the shop? However, the parents have tried out one item and greatly regret this decision for most of the book. You see, they tested a condom with a hole in it (for those that want to die from an STD) and the product was their last son Alan who is a disgrace to the moody family. After all, hes just too happy!
