HELP WANTED - ADELLE WALDMAN GEBUNDEN

'Help Wanted is like a great nineteenth-century novel about now  at once an effervescent
workplace comedy and an exploration of the psychic toll exacted by the labour market' Elif
Batuman  author of The Idiot 'Poignant  funny  stealthily ambitious' The New York Times
'Eliot-like ... . It is simultaneously a joke  a homage  and a provocation for our unequal age.
Help Wanted washes labour in a stately  almost Steinbeckian light  emphasizing its difficulty
but also its dignity' New Yorker Tightly plotted  slyly caustic and often very funny' Daily
Mail At a superstore in a small town in upstate New York  the members of Team Movement clock in
every day at 3.55 am. Under the red-eyed scrutiny of their self-absorbed and barely competent
boss  they empty delivery trucks of mountains of merchandise  stock the shelves and stagger
home (or to another poorly paid day job) before the customers arrive. When Big Will the store
manager announces he's leaving  everything changes. The eclectic team members now see a way to
have their awful line manager promoted up and away from them  and to dream of a promotion of
their own. Together they set an extravagant plan in motion.
