Description

Verbatim: A Novel presents itself as a Hansard document, interspersed with office emails, in a unique and innovative format. This satirical novel subtly critiques the political machinations of parliamentary procedure and bureaucracy. The story commences with a metafictional twist, before proceeding to the debates proper, which chronicle daily life in a Canadian province. The cast of characters is introduced according to their political affiliation and location, while bureaucrats are known through their correspondence, revealing their power, status, influence, pettiness, and significance. The novel's substance is drawn from various Acts tabled in the debates, drawing criticism and praise according to political affiliation, and serves to parody politicians, hangers-on, office intrigues, and human nature.
