{"product_id":"factory-hiroko-oyamada-9781803510590","title":"Factory","description":"Beyond the town, there is the factory. Beyond the factory, there is nothing.\nWithin the sprawling industrial complex, three employees are assigned to different departments. There, each must focus on a specific task: one shreds paper, one proofreads documents, and another studies the moss growing all over the expansive grounds. As they grow accustomed to the routine and co-workers, their lives become governed by their work. Days take on a strange logic and momentum, and little by little, the margins of reality seem to be dissolving: Where does the factory end and the rest of the world begin? What's going on with the strange animals here? And after a while - it could be weeks or years - the three workers struggle to answer the most basic question: what am I doing here? \nWith hints of Kafka and Beckett and unexpected moments of creeping humour, The Factory is a vivid, and sometimes surreal, portrait of the absurdity and meaninglessness of the modern workplace.","brand":"Granta Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49481729835296,"sku":"9781803510590","price":8.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0753\/2812\/7264\/files\/9781803510590.jpg?v=1785187743","url":"https:\/\/bookcorner.com\/products\/factory-hiroko-oyamada-9781803510590","provider":"The Book Corner","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
