“I'm listening to PW at my catering job. It's rather dull and I have a lot of time where I'd otherwise just be sitting inside of my own head, musing. I have to say, I only grabbed PW because it was promo'd on the front page, but I am really, really enjoying it.
I'm about 3/4+ of the way through, so I haven't quite seen how everything plays out, but I am hopeful. And so very glad that you took the time to record and release this book, Peter.
I went in expecting a relatively interesting read, something to break up my normal podcasts. But, and this surprised me, I got a really compelling picture of class relations at mid-century. I grew up in a pro-union household in the US and, even though it's always been an issue I've taken interest in, I've not heard much about labor/industry outside of my country. So, it's fascinating to see bits and pieces of how the efforts and politics seep into culture in other parts of the world, whether fiction or real life.
Good job. I dipped in for a crime novel and I've got something that has me thinking when the audio's turned off. I don't know if this will get to the author, I'm a bit late to the game it seems, but I really am enjoying myself, and I'm grateful for the time and care that went into bringing this story to the internet.”
