NIGHT WORK BY THOMAS GLAVINIC


                                          To start with, this is a really different book. ( The sort I usually do not read !). When I read the back cover I thought it was science fiction or something. "An ordinary man wakes up on an ordinary day to find that he's the only living creature in the city...".

                                      The protagonist is Jonas who wakes up and finds nobody. Nobody answers the phone, there is nothing on the TV etc. Soon he kicks into action trying to find people, Slowly he starts thinking more and more. Now when he sleeps he is like a different entity, "The sleeper". He films himself sleep and watches it, he rides around in various cars, anything that could give him a clue. He turns to himself too. He visits his old home, redesigns his flat etc. 
                                        It gets more and more mad with absolutely no hope. Now I couldn't really understand the book but I think there are various ways to explain this. I like some of the thoughts that Jonas has too. It is a psychological thriller. I think all book lovers must read this. Please do read this book. Oh and check out this blog after you read :This Space ( This Space: Thomas Glavinic : Night work). All the best !
