Riassunto:

Featuring contributions from Edward P. Jones, Tobias Wolff and Lewis Robinson, this timely--and unique--collection of stories about work during this time of prolonged economic crisis reveals how jobs, which have taken on increased significance, define, frustrate and ennoble us. Original. 30,000 first printing.

Recensione:

“A rich compendium that seeks to define, defend and explain the importance of work using complex characters that range from a veteran waiter aboard a train to a lauded but aging poet seeking his muse in Italy.” (Lisa Ko, author of The Leavers)

“This book is worth a read. I learned a few things, smiled a time or two and made myself a promise to leave very, very good tips for the next delivery man who comes to our house.” (New York Times)
