Publisher's Synopsis
Your time is precious. Book a Waiter now.In a dystopian future London, a Waiter does the jobs you don't have time for. They queue for your concert tickets, stay in for your deliveries and stir your risotto.The Waiter follows one displaced employee as they seek to understand who they once were, and who they might become. In this truly innovative debut, Kwan Ann Tan invites the reader to pick their own narrative path through a city, and a psyche, on the brink of collapse.Provocative, haunting and human, The Waiter creates a labyrinthine world of possibilities which coalesce to explore queer longing, consumerism, class, and agency.
