A Working Title I Want to Change 9781917516235 Paperback

In the labyrinth of Tescos 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 stores walls.A Working Title I Want to Change explores the dizzyingly over-lit world of austerity Britain, revealing consumerisms rituals and illusions in all their comedy and menace.
