Stacey Levine

Dra-, the incompletely named anti-heroine of this unusual, brilliant novel is trying to get a job. She isnt sure what kind of job or where or what its purpose is she only knows she has to find one. Dra- wonders the labyrinthine corridors of some vast unamed workplace getting unsolicited advice from characters with names such as Manager, Administrator and Nurse. The quirkiness and clarity of Levines language and the comedy and darkness of her vision mark her as a worthy heir of jane Bowles.
