Beschreibung:
Love, sex, and corporate slavery in a futuristic world from the two-time winner of the Dashiell Hammett Prize
Perfectly normal men and women head to their desks every day in a city laid waste by guerrilla incursions, menaced by hordes of starving people, murderous children and cloned dogs, patrolled by armed helicopters, and plagued with acid rain. Among them is an office worker willing to be humiliated in order to keep his job—until he falls in love and allows himself to dream of someone else.
To what depths is a man willing to go to hold on to a dream?The Clerk tells a story that happened yesterday, but still hasn’t happened, and yet is happening now. And we didn’t even notice, too tied up in our jobs, our salaries, our appearances. This novel embraces an anti-utopia, a world of Ballard but also of Dostoyevsky.
