The First Day in Paradise tells the story of a young orphaned
family who have been passed on from one set of relations to
another, and whose eldest sibling, Adam, becomes enthralled by the
impending opening nearby of a gigantic and beautiful shopping-mall
by a flamboyant entrepreneur. To the consternation of his aunt and
uncle, who run a small business, he joins the staff of one of its
stores, and begins a dizzying ascent through the ranks, until
circumstances induce him to question whether his entire
value-system has become corrupted. Functioning both as
social-economic critique, and as a personal moral fable about the
conjuration of ambition from present-day consumer culture, The
First Day in Paradise is an engrossing and layered tale loosely
modelled on Dante's Paradiso, but most of all it's simply a great
read.
