Proofs are going out…

Two uncorrected proof copies of Ben Pester’s new novel The Expansion Project. The cover makes it look like an employee handbook for the imaginary business park called Capmeadow. A giant dystopian yellow sun on a blue background.

This book is absolutely brilliant - starts on repetitive, precarious work but ends on the breaking link between nostalgia, the failed socialist project, and familial decay.
