ABSTRACT

Seasonal Associate by Heike Geißler, translated by Katy Derbyshire, Afterword by Kevin Vennemann, Cambridge, MA, Semiotext(e)/MIT Press, 2018, 239 pp., $16.95/£13.99 (paper) Heike Geißler's nameless female protagonist, temporary employee for the holiday season at Amazon-Germany in Leipzig, has company. The past few years have produced numerous accounts on work, both scholarly and personal, studies of labor and individual narratives of employment, jobs, gigs, the ever more dispersed realm of people's interaction with the economy, made more tenuous on account of the Covid-19 pandemic.
