In Cardiff's offices and call centres the twenty-something white
collar workers of the new sweatshops email each other with work
issues, jokes, arrangements for their social lives, gossip and the
products of sheer boredom. As the day passes, author Martin
conducts this correspondence and saves in Drafts a variety of
emails to himself - a commentary on his life. Martin is tired of
customer services, in denial over breaking up with his girlfriend,
worried about 'that incident' in Bristol, and baffled by the
triviality of his life and those of his drinking, recreational
drug-taking friends. What is the plot he's supposed to be
following? How has it come to this? When on this day, 11th
September, 2001, people fly airliners into buildings, Martin knows
he's reached a critical point in his life. He sends his final
message...Told entirely through emails, part The Office, part
Pinter, "Eleven" is a striking debut novel: smart, funny, brutally
sad, and a genuine response to 21st century society in the UK and
beyond. It iis likely to become a cult text for young people,
disillusioned with society, across the UK.
