Zero hours

"When zero hours wages become the zero hours of our lives. In a post-Brexit Britain filled with low paid zero hours jobs a young man navigates the world through his writing and in doing so pens a bittersweet love song to Manchester. A perfectly pitched short novel, a little gem of a book that goes beyond what the politicians have to say and gets to the real heart of post-Brexit Britain. The undercurrents of racism. Working in the post office depots and libraries. A rant against social injustice that merges into a meditation on time. Explores the supposed regeneration of Manchester, and life under the Tories, his young protagonist staying put while the aeroplanes fly overhead."--Publisher's description.
