Krátky popis
Hu AnYan has held nineteen different jobs since he graduated. He’s
been a convenience store clerk, a bicycle salesman, a security
guard and a delivery driver (among many other things). Every time
the work gets punishing or the bosses too bossy, he moves on, from
city to city, carrying with him nothing but his copies of Chekhov
and Carver.This is his story. A runaway bestseller in China, I
Deliver Parcels in Beijing is about what it’s like to try and make
a living – and stay sane – in the gig economy. From the pecking
order on a parcel-sorting factory floor to the perfect alcohol dose
to get some daylight shut-eye before a punishing night shift, from
the Kafkaesque bureaucracy of the hiring departments to the ideal
layout of a delivery route, Hu illuminates the hidden lives behind
the roles that keep our world going.But he also shows how, through
the liberating power of literature, he finds solace, and even
freedom in his existence. Quietly radical, brimming with humanity
and humour, this book asks: what does work really mean? What should
it mean? And do any of us really know how to live?
