A review by cais
Poetics of Work by Noémi Lefebvre

4.0

I have to agree with all the reviews that call this book a "manifesto of poetic resistance" and like phrases. Lefebrve finds the poetry in quotidian activities and in the feeling of not being a so-called productive member of society. No plot, as such, and the shiftlessness of the narration requires the reader to just let Lefebrve's graceful, clever writing carry you through. Political without telling the reader what to think and philosophical without being abstruse. A quick, challenging, enjoyable read.
