{"product_id":"hiroko-oyamada-the-factory-9781803510590","title":"The Factory","description":"Beyond the town, there is the factory. Beyond the factory, there is nothing. Within the sprawling industrial complex, three employees are assigned to different departments. There, each must focus on a specific task: one shreds paper, one proofreads documents, and another studies the moss growing all over the expansive grounds. As they grow accustomed to the routine and co-workers, their lives become governed by their work. Days take on a strange logic and momentum, and little by little, the margins of reality seem to be dissolving: Where does the factory end and the rest of the world begin? What's going on with the strange animals here? And after a while - it could be weeks or years - the three workers struggle to answer the most basic question: what am I doing here? \n\u003cbr\u003e\nWith hints of Kafka and Beckett and unexpected moments of creeping humour, The Factory is a vivid, and sometimes surreal, portrait of the absurdity and meaninglessness of the modern workplace.","brand":"Granta Publications","offers":[{"title":"Used - very good","offer_id":53688798413142,"sku":"9781803510590-V","price":9.47,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"Used - good","offer_id":54068547977558,"sku":"9781803510590-G","price":9.64,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/5829\/5382\/files\/product_image_9781803510590_1.jpg?v=1778856511","url":"https:\/\/www.momoxbooks.com\/products\/hiroko-oyamada-the-factory-9781803510590","provider":"momoxbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
