Description
Eula Biss's latest work is a radical interrogation of work, leisure and capitalism. Having just purchased her first home, she embarks on a roguish self-audit of the value system she has bought into. Playfully ranging from everyday experiences to cultural icons, she asks fundamental questions about what we invest in. In this thought-provoking book, Biss reveals the hidden dynamics at play in our relationship with money and class. Her writing is both nuanced and precise, laying bare our submerged fears and revealing what has been hidden in plain sight. The result is a compelling exploration of our societal responsibilities and the spiritual moment we inhabit. Through her unique blend of poetry and experience, Biss turns the controlled rush of everyday life into art, giving readers new language for things they may not have known they felt.
