Press “A satirical, caustic, and yet delightfully light collection of fables, the book comprises twenty-three narratives from an imaginary village where denizens perform the strangest—and dirtiest—traditions and professions.” “Good—but often quite shocking—fun, artfully presented.” “While the tone is satirical and the jobs are, of course, over-the-top in their perversity, the portrait presented in Odd Jobs is one of gradual economic intensification. One could do worse than read Duvert—a lifelong libertarian communist associated with Guy Hocquenghem—alongside the autonomist Marxist writings of Silvia Federici, Mariarosa Dalla Costa, Leopoldina Fortunati, and Selma James from this period—writings that first articulated the concept of affective labor.” “Odd Jobs is a quick read, but chock-full of disturbing and often black-humor detail about a list of ‘odd jobs’ that serve the inhabitants of an imaginary French village.” “Conceived as imaginary cartographies of country and city life, respectively, these brief texts, filled with sketches of shit removers, gay cruising spots and rotten rubbish dumps, underscore Duvert’s penchant for Wildean satire and Boschian nightmare.” |
