Unity Books Club: Service by John Tottenham

About the book:
What's this book about? Is there a restroom? Do you have gluten-free bagels? Do you work here? Do you have a restroom? Do I buy books or rent books or what?
The worst thing about a bookshop is the customers. Then there's the gift-wrapping, the invoicing, the stock takes. The Yelp reviews that inevitably contribute to self-loathing.

In his late forties, Sean is still a frustrated bookseller who should have written his novel already. Instead, he spends his days drowning in his overwhelming sense of contempt -for LA, for its readers, for its casual disdain for service. And what, or whom, is he serving anyway?
Biting, hilarious and self-aware, John Tottenham's debut novel is a razor-sharp dissection of the modern scourges of gentrification, male vanity, jealousy and the worth of literature in a digital age.

Melissa and Eden will be hosting our monthly book club to discuss some of the excellent recently released books.
In February we will be discussing Service by John Tottenham.

We have limited tickets available so grab a ticket sooner rather then later and tell your friends and whānau.
Drinks and snacks provided. If you have any specific allergies, let us know and send an email.
If you have any further queries send us an email to [email protected] and address it to Melissa.
