Author: Joseph Ponthus; Stephanie Smee (trans.)
Unable to find work in his field, Ponthus enlists with a temp agency and starts to pick up casual shifts in the fish processing plants and abattoirs of Brittany. Day after day he records with infinite precision the nature of work on the line: the noise, the weariness, but also the solace in a life previously lived. In this French bestseller, Ponthus captures the mundane, the beautiful, the strange, writing with an elegance and humour that sit in contrast with the blood and sweat of the factory floor.
ISBN 9781760642334. Black Inc.. pb. 272 pages. 21 x 13.5 cm.
