Description
With both drollness and acuity, Sally Olds takes us into worlds we may not have ever visited before. In these sometimes alien spaces, she explores and reports on everyday intimacies and vulnerabilities.
People Who Lunch: Essays on Work, Leisure and Loose Living is about working and not working, hating work and needing to work, intimacy and technology, money and love, labour and pleasure. Across a series of essays, Sally Olds probes the ambivalent utopias of polyamory, cryptocurrency, clubbing, communes, a secret fraternity, and the essay form itself.
Curiosity drives each of these adventures into projected worlds, where Olds explores how living with precariousness changes expectations of how a life can be lived in this thrilling appraisal of the state of things.
