Is This Working? by Charlie Colenutt

Is This Working? by Charlie Colenutt

For the best part of two years Charlie Colenutt travelled the country to talk to a hundred strangers, from all walks of life about their jobs: What did they do for a living? Why did they do it? Did they like it? They met in coffee shops, chain pubs or front rooms. He met the church minister who, maddened by his email inbox, has come to feel more like an administrator than a spiritual leader. He found out the number of birds killed a day in a poultry factory, the order in which patients are woken up in care homes, and the reasons why you shouldn’t smile when you are shown your bonus in an investment bank. Together, the voices in Is This Working? tell a story about the one thing that most British adults have in common – work.

Charlie Colenutt studied history at the University of Oxford, where he won the Gibbs Prize. After his undergraduate studies, he stayed in Oxford as the Amelia Jackson scholar, completing a postgraduate degree on the history of the United States. He lives on a hill near High Wycombe. Is This Working? is his debut book.
