- Zusatztext
- Working the Aisles takes the reader on tumultuous driving trips across the United States and France, on phone sex escapades in San Francisco, on banking battles in Sweden, and many other adventures including, of course, on trips to supermarkets, where the author has had to work the aisles. Moving back and forth through time, like a novelist, indeed in something of a memoirist tour de force, the book develops the story of struggle, of poverty and depression, but also of gaiety and desire, of a will to live in spite of it all, and to keep working the aisles. It moves the reader through highs and lows, through episodes of ecstasy and thoughts about suicide, and tells how this particular Everyman ended up sane but sorry.
- Kurztext
- All the world is not a stage, anymore - the world is a supermarket. This book relates one man's struggle to go 'working the aisles'.
