While there is somewhat of a narrative, The Employees is mostly a series of statements and reflections. Sometimes they're curious, sometimes insightful, and often they're somewhat alienating (this may have been the point). In the latter half of the book, the emotional realizations become more grounded and profound, and while that was interesting, there was something about the book that I felt like kept me at a distance, and prevented me from fully engaging with it, or it with me.

I don't know how to 'rate' a book like this. It's not good, bad, or indifferent. It is a wild little book though.

Inspired by Lea Guldditte Hestelund's sculptures, the book is a collection of short statements from employees on the Six Thousand Ship regarding their interactions with odd objects. I love the concept here -- a weird book told through statements, involving weirdness and humanoids and found objects. But the jumpiness and vagueness usually left me confused. Though there are some brilliant scenes/ moments here. With a better execution of the concept, I really might have been a fan. If you like this, try 'Roadside Picnic' by Strugatsky and the 'Area X' series by Jeff VanderMeer.… (mais)
