Description
Dayswork: A Novel by Chris Bachelder and Jennifer Habel is a thought-provoking exploration of the intersection between life and literature. During her quarantine, a woman becomes increasingly obsessed with Herman Melville's life and work, delving into his relationships, writing process, and personal struggles. As she digs deeper, her own marriage and ambition come under scrutiny, leading to a midlife reckoning that blurs the lines between reality and recorded history. With wry, epigrammatic prose, Bachelder and Habel craft an intimate and absorbing novel that considers the ways we locate ourselves in the lives of others. This nuanced and charming novel raises important questions about cost, worth, and debt, and invites readers to reflect on their own place within the world of literature.
