The Books Oracle
by Hilary Leichter
How many jobs have you chained together in the last few years? For Leichter's protagonist, each job is more unstable—and more absurd—than the last: scrubbing the deck of a pirate ship, managing a household as a professional wife-for-hire. A deadpan, surreal novel about precarity, identity, and the question of what work is supposed to mean.
