Description
Temporary by Hilary Leichter is a thought-provoking exploration of the modern workplace and its impact on personal identity. With a unique blend of dark humour and poignant insight, this novel delves into the lives of those who navigate the gig economy with ease.
Aided by her bespoke agency and a cast of boyfriends each allotted their own task, the Temporary takes on various roles to find steadiness and belonging. As she fills in for different individuals - from the Chairman of the Board to a murderer - this story raises essential questions about what it means to work and live in today's world.
With its wild, hopeful, and infinitely sad tone, Temporary is a smart and humane portrayal of the human experience. This novel will appeal to anyone interested in stories that challenge our assumptions about identity, belonging, and the search for meaning in our lives.
