Product Description

A PARIS REVIEW BOOK OF THE YEAR'Highly accomplished, deeply satisfying ... I marked up almost every page' TLS'Laugh-out-loud funny' DAILY MAIL'My favourite nihilistic romantic' RACHEL KUSHNERWhat's this book about? Is there a restroom? Do you have gluten-free bagels? Do you work here? Do you have a restroom? Do I buy books or rent books or what? Sean knows that the worst thing about a bookshop is the customers. Then there's the gift-wrapping, the invoicing, the Yelp reviews. The overwhelming sense of self-loathing after another day of not writing a novel yourself. While Sean's book remains unfinished, his city has changed around him. As have friends and acquaintances, at least the ones who keep in touch. The service industry is different, too. But what, or whom, is he serving anyway?
