Walks for the Unemployed - Andrew Brown - Bog

Do you want to read an epic of heroic failure? Do you want to relate your struggling independent but lonely being to the teeming mass of the relentless universe? Then this book will touch you with its bold and honest fiction. The ramshackle hero, Jimmy Suzuki, in a disturbed parallel world, is fighting for his soul and a sense of worthiness under the banal system known as "Great Society". For Jimmy has been pronounced "counter-professional"; he is not allowed to work at all. But he has a past to unsettle his future. In this "mis-idiomed" blurred place Jimmy is alone amongst outlandish characters and the malign Brown Dwarf System is approaching displacing reality with temporal incredulity. Jimmy is struggling to survive against an evil thing which is darkly influencing his life. Then the strange Mrs. Rosemary Dowd reaches out to him with her curious essay on "Walks for the Unemployed".
