'Trippy, incisive and riotously funny' Alexandra Kleeman, author of You Too Can Have a Body Like Mine 'A wonder ... Precision, humour, heart, this is a stunner' Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah, bestselling author of Chain-Gang All-Stars 'An original mind brimming over with invention' Ben Marcus, author of The Flame Alphabet

A darkly funny debut novel about work, debt and how we live now, from a thrilling new voice in fiction.

Jonathan Abernathy is a loser. Unemployed and behind on his student loan repayments, the only thing Abernathy has in abundance is debt.

When a secretive government loan forgiveness programme offers him a job he can literally do in his sleep, Abernathy thinks he's found his big break. He finds himself auditing the dreams of white-collar workers, flagging their anxieties for removal at night so they'll be more productive in the day. If Abernathy can at least appear competent at this new job, might he have a chance at a new life?

As Abernathy tries to find his footing in this new gig, reality and morality begin to warp around him. Soon, the lines between life and work, right and wrong, and even sleep and consciousness, have blurred and Abernathy begins to wonder just what he might have signed away...

Wildly imaginative, laced with black humour and full of close-to-the-bone truths, Jonathan Abernathy You Are Kind is the cult workplace novel that's like nothing else you've read before.
