Description
The Lay-off House by David Rogers A story about the challenge of making one's own life in a society that tries to say 'no', this novel portrays how many of us live now, in the real economy. When Doug loses his job for the fourth time, he finds himself at the centre of a community that comes together to seek shelter from economic hardship. As they navigate their new reality, Doug and his neighbours face opposition from those who believe there should be no escape from the rat-race. But as they work together to build a home and a way out, they begin to challenge the status quo and forge their own paths. This thought-provoking novel offers a glimpse into the lives of those living in the real economy, and suggests a way to live a little better despite the obstacles that surround us.
