Kelly Link's novel "Temporary" has been receiving rave reviews from critics worldwide. The Washington Post describes it as "terrifyingly entertaining," while the New York Times praises it as "masterful." The Los Angeles Times wonders, "What is this?" The novel is set in a world where the gig economy has taken over, and the protagonist, the Temporary, takes on a series of jobs in search of stability, belonging, and something to call her own.
With the help of her bespoke agency and a cast of boyfriends, each assigned their own task (such as the handy boyfriend, the culinary boyfriend, the real estate boyfriend), the Temporary is happy to fill in for anyone, including the Chairman of the Board, a ghost, a murderer, a mother, and even you and me.
"Temporary" is a wild, hopeful, and infinitely sad and funny story that delves into the complexities of work and life in the modern world. It is a smart, humane portrayal of what it means to work and live in our present times, and it will leave readers thinking and laughing long after they finish the book.
