A group of misfit, big-box store employees working the overnight shift in a small upstate New York town vie for the stability, salary and possibility of a new job when their store manager announces he is leaving. - WW Norton
The Love Affairs of Nathaniel P. - WW Norton
Every day at 3:55 a.m., members of Team Movement clock in for their shift at big-box store Town Square in a small upstate New York town. Under the eyes of a self-absorbed and barely competent boss, they empty the dayâs truck of merchandise, stock the shelves, and scatter before the store opens and customers arrive. Their lives follow a familiar if grueling routine, but their real problem is that Town Square doesnât schedule them for enough hoursâmost of them are barely getting by, even while working second or third jobs. When store manager Big Will announces he is leaving, the members of Movement spot an opportunity. If they play their cards right, one of them just might land a management job, with all the stability and possibility for advancement that that implies. The members of Team Movementâincluding a comedy-obsessed oddball who acts half his age, a young woman clinging on to her âcool kidâ status from high school, and a college football hopeful trying to find a new pathâband together to set a just-so-crazy-it-might-work plot in motion.Los Angeles TimesEconomistFresh AirWashington PostHelp Wanted
