Book Overview

Explores the bleach-scented, dizzyingly over-lit world of a supermarket's aisles, as austerity makes everyone within the store's walls poorer.

In the labyrinth of Tesco's flagship supermarket, precariously employed workers search for dignity at the margins of late-capitalist London, while a nameless narrator cycles through the discarded nametags of sacked colleagues. Gradually absorbing their stories, he drifts from shifts at the superstore to temporary accommodation, as imminent homelessness threatens his intellectual hopes. Petty triumphs, quiet humiliations, and fleeting acts of kindness become markers of resistance to the wider collapse beyond the store's walls.

A Working Title I Want to Change explores the dizzyingly over-lit world of austerity Britain, revealing consumerism's rituals and illusions in all their comedy and menace.
