With impeccable prose, the author builds associations that go beyond the obvious, not only between glimpsing a life's beginning and end, but also between the building’s occupation and his wife's pregnancy — showcasing the various forms of occupation while exposing the frailty of life, the risk of solitude and the brutality of not belonging.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cem\u003ePaperback\u003cbr\u003ePublication: 17 Aug 2021, Charco Press\u003cbr\u003eISBN: 9781916277878\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eExtent: 144 pages \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"David's Bookshop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57079245767038,"sku":null,"price":9.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0753\/0892\/5225\/files\/Occupation.webp?v=1773325100","url":"https:\/\/www.davids-bookshops.co.uk\/products\/occupation-by-julian-fuks","provider":"David's Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
