If you happen to be exploited—whether you work in a coal mine, a clandestine textile workshop, a call center, row in a Roman galley, or teach at a private school—and somehow still find yourself thirsty for justice and critique, then you are the ideal reader for these texts. You’ll find critique in the fiction. As for justice… well, also in the fiction.
I recommend reading these pieces at the end of the day—when the optimism you had in the morning has finally run dry… or when optimism in general has.
But the most important thing: make sure you read under a warm-light, energy-saving lamp. A study conducted at the University of Massachusetts found that Osram Dulux L 36W four-pin lamps delivered the best results when reading these comedies. Another finding from this study was that the research team took over the university’s entire second floor—and part of the basement—after years of being forced to conduct absurd experiments under exploitative conditions and without basic safety measures.
