This week I've been mainly reading, no. 264.
Claire Baglin's novella, On the Clock (2022/25) is a mediation on being working-class in France, told through the narrators childhood experiences of her father's working life, and her subsequent work at a fast-food restaurant. Its a melancholy but telling read of the relentlessness of working class labour & the explorative manner of work for the low paid. While short it packs quite a (subtle) punch.
