Capitalism has become strange. Ironically, while the 'age of work' seems to have come to an end, working has assumed a total presence – a 'worker's society' in the worst sense of the term – where everyone finds themselves obsessed with it. So what does the worker tell us today? "I feel drained, empty… dead." This book tells the story of the dead man working. It follows this figure through the daily tedium of the office, to the humiliating mandatory team building exercise, to awkward encounters with the funky boss who pretends to hate capitalism and tells you to be authentic. In this society, the experience of work is not of dying...but neither of living. It is one of a living death. And yet, the dead man working is nevertheless compelled to wear the exterior signs of life, to throw a pretty smile, feign enthusiasm and make a half-baked joke. When the corporation has colonized life itself, even our dreams, the question of escape becomes ever more pressing, ever more desperate…

In the midst of doing damage control, he begins to obsess over the mysterious woman who wants absolutely nothing to do with him. Rellik won’t take no for an answer.

Un cappello di paglia intrecciata è tutto ciò che a Phoebe rimane della sua amica Emma. E da quell’accessorio tanto prezioso decide di ricominciare a vivere. Pochi la comprendono quando si licenzia da Sotheby’s per aprire una boutique di vestiti vintage, ma Phoebe sa che ogni capo porta con sé l’anima di chi l’ha indossato e lo indosserà. Thérèse Bell, un’anziana signora francese, ha una straordinaria collezione di capi vintage, e fra gli abiti da sera e i tailleur d’alta moda, Phoebe trova un misterioso cappottino azzurro... Le due donne stringono in poco tempo un’amicizia profonda, unite da un vissuto comune che impedisce loro di riconciliarsi con il proprio passato. Quella che Phoebe scopre è una storia che la porta indietro, ai giorni della Francia occupata e alla crudeltà delle leggi razziali. E quando Thérèse le confessa che le mancano pochi giorni di vita, Phoebe cercherà di aiutarla ad affrontare i fantasmi della sua infanzia, e così facendo potrà dare una svolta alla sua stessa esistenza e forse innamorarsi di nuovo.
