Description: The Employees by Olga Ravn, Martin Aitken Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description Shortlisted for the International Booker Prize and the Ursula K. Le Guin Prize, The Employees reshuffles a sci-fi voyage into a riotously original existential nightmare Publisher Description Now in paperback, The Employees chronicles the fate of the interstellar Six-Thousand Ship. The human and humanoid crew members complain about their daily tasks in a series of staff reports and memos. When the ship takes on a number of strange objects from the planet New Discovery, the crew becomes strangely and deeply attached to them, even as tensions boil toward mutiny, especially among the humanoids. Olga Ravns prose is chilling, crackling, exhilarating, and foreboding. The Employees probes into what makes us human, while delivering a hilariously stinging critique of life governed by the logic of productivity.

In collaboration with the Danish publisher Gyldendal she edited a selection of Tove Ditlevsens writings that relaunched Ditlevsen readership worldwide.
