Hard Copy: A story of girl meets printer

Autor Fien Veldman Traducere de Hester Velmans
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 6 iun 2024
Spending long hours in her claustraphobic office cubicle, a customer service assistant is struggling. Isolated, frustrated and lonely, she finds comfort in only one thing: the office printer. As she confides in the printer about her hopes and dreams, her fears and her past, it becomes clear to her that he is listening. But to her employees, the blossoming relationship is a worrying cry for help.

Diagnosed with burnout and placed on leave, she faces severance and - worse - separation from her beloved printer. But she's not about to give up on her only friend without a fight. And, it turns out, neither is he.

Recenzii

Despite its whimsical premise, Hard Copy is at its heart a joyful, tender, and strangely relatable novel. With sharp, playful prose Veldman tells a story in equal parts searing intelligence and madcap sweetness. Simply brilliant.
This novel has it all. It's smart, captivating, poignant, absurd, moving, and terribly funny.
Intimate and surprising at every turn, Hard Copy's distinct narrative voice took me right in from page one. A truly one-of-a-kind novel: I loved it.

Rounded with sharp observations and surprising humour, Hard Copy is an incisive commentary on social isolation - a young woman's desperate search for connection in these late-capitalist times.
'Many astute observations about loneliness [and] class attitudes... very funny on the tedium of office life.'
A talented new voice worth paying attention to.
Dryly comic... You regularly wonder who is more disturbed here, the protagonist or society.
A weird, understated and very well written book about a millennial meltdown
A beautiful, at times absurdist and moving debut
In clear, bright language, Fien Veldman accurately depicts a world, a social background, that eats its way through the individual... A novel like an autopsy.
Absurdist and inventive. Fien Veldman knows how to deal with contemporary cultural phenomena, and she always approaches them astutely and surprisingly'
Wondrous
A beautiful book
Hard Copy is a wonderfully entertaining novel about the struggle to build relationships when one's formative years have already warped their foundation. In a world where machines steadily replace human labour, Veldman explores the search for connections that may not exist and a new, hopefully better reality... bizarre yet poignant'
