Description of
People Who Lunch On Work, Leisure, and Loose Living [Audiobook]
B0C7HLHG1W M4B@128 kbps Author: Sally Olds Narrator: Christine Lakin In it, Sally Olds brings her "unsparing scrutiny to bear...as she grapples with the sense of entrapment in the machinery of capitalism and remorseless logic of commodification" (ABC Arts). In one essay, Olds's brief flirtation with post-monogamy forces her to confront the emotional prison of the "open relationship" in another, a multi-hour viewing of a critically acclaimed performance art piece highlights how even the highest forms of culture exist to convert pleasure into capital. In the end, her forays into these colorful worlds betray a deep irony: escaping a system built on the exchange of wage labor is, quite simply, a lot of work.
