Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The true story of one man learning to live with, and despite, the gig economyHu Anyan has held nineteen different jobs since he graduated. He's been a convenience store clerk, a bicycle salesman, a security guard and a delivery driver (among many other things). Every time the work gets punis…hing or the bosses too bossy, he moves on, from city to city, carrying with him nothing but his copies of Chekhov and Carver. This is his story.A runaway bestseller in China, I Deliver Parcels in Beijing is about what it's like to try and make a living - and stay sane - in the gig economy. From the pecking order on a parcel-sorting factory floor to the perfect alcohol dose to get some daylight shut-eye before a punishing night shift, from the Kafkaesque bureaucracy of the hiring departments to the ideal layout of a delivery route, Hu illuminates the hidden lives behind the roles that keep our world going. But he also shows how, through the liberating power of literature, he finds solace, and even freedom in his existence. Quietly radical, brimming with humanity and humour, this book asks: what does work really mean? What should it mean? And do any of us really know how to live?

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. An Economist Best Book of 2025A Financial Times Best Book of 2025A Sunday Times Best Book of 2025 "Hu Anyans I Deliver Parcels in Beijing, translated by Jack Hargreaves, offers an unvarnished dispatch from the front lines of the gig economy.The Cinderella bit of it is that now he can add a n…ew title: internationally best-selling author." Leah Greenblatt, The New York Times Book ReviewA runaway bestseller in China, sold in 20+ countries, this delightfully honest and humorous account gives a face and voice to the future of workas if Nomadland met Nickel and Dimed. In 2023, I Deliver Parcels in Beijing became the literary sensation of the year in China. Hu Anyans story, about short-term jobs in various anonymous megacities, hit a nerve with a generation of young people who feel at odds with an ever-growing pressure to perform and succeed.Hu started posting essays about his experiences online during COVID lockdowns. His recollection of night shifts in a huge logistics center in the south of China went viral: his nights were so hot that he could drink three liters of water without taking a toilet break; his days were spent searching for affordable rooms with proper air-conditioning; and his few moments of leisure were consumed by calculations of the amount of alcohol needed to sleep but not feel drowsy a few hours later.Hu Anyan tells us about brutal work, where there is no real future in sight. But Hu is armed with deadpan humor and a strong idea of self. He moves on when he feels stuckfrom logistics in the south, to parcel delivery in Beijing, to other impossible jobs. Along the way, he turns to reading and writing for strength and companionship.I Deliver Parcels in Beijing is an honest and startling first-person portrait of Hu Anyan's struggle against the dehumanizing nature of our contemporary global work systemand his discovery of the power of sharing a story.
