Description
xSpending long hours in her claustraphobic office cubicle, a customer service assistant is struggling. Isolated, frustrated and lonely, she finds comfort in only one thing: the office printer. As she confides in the printer about her hopes and dreams, her fears and her past, it becomes clear to her that he is listening. But to her employees, the blossoming relationship is a worrying cry for help.
Diagnosed with burnout and placed on leave, she faces severance and - worse - separation from her beloved printer. But she's not about to give up on her only friend without a fight. And, it turns out, neither is he. 'A talented new voice worth paying attention to.' Irish Times'Equal parts searing intelligence and madcap sweetness. Simply brilliant.' Jenny Mustard
'Very funny on the tedium of office life.' Irish Independent
'Intimate and surprising at every turn... A truly one-of-a-kind novel: I loved it.' Sarah Maria Griffin
This novel has it all. It's smart, captivating, poignant, absurd, moving, and terribly funny.' Jente Posthuma
