Weight: Atlas and Heracles by Jeanette Winterson
Drawing on her experience at more than 100 companies, Deborahann Smith guides the reader throughout the world of temporary employment with humor, common sense, a Zen-like appreciation for the ever-changing present moment - and a healthy dose of enlightened self-interest. Among the topics are marketing yourself, dealing with agencies, negotiating pay and benefits, getting through the first day, community in the workplace, difficult relationships, job recognition, surviving job lulls, and going permanent.
Jeanette Winterson OBE has written ten novels, children s books, non-fiction works, and screenplays, and writes regularly for the Guardian. She was adopted by Pentecostal parents and raised in Manchester to be a missionary, which she wrote about in her first novel, Oranges Are Not The Only Fruit, and twenty-seven years later in her bestselling memoir, Why Be Happy When You Could Be Normal? The Winter s Tale tells the story of Perdita, the abandoned child. All of us have talismanic texts that we have carried around and that carry us around. I have worked with The Winter s Tale in many disguises for many years, Jeanette says of the play. The result is The Gap of Time, her cover version.
