19 pages, starting with the most difficult poem, I think. But the poems aren't hard. We see managers in various guises - as inspirational leader, dictator, someone beset by doubts, etc. Here are some starts to give you a flavour of the range of treatments
The manager sits behind a blue curtain with his feet in a bucket and a sliver of onion up each nostril for hours on end |
The manager runs across war zones. He is anchorman and the correspondent rolled into one, channel-hopping from Channel 4 |
The manager looks at me. He says it's time I went. They won't be needing me any more. |
"a novel and original take on the 9-5 world ... Thought-provoking and entertaining, it's a pamphlet that's consistently effective and insightful" (Ben Wilkinson)
