An ordinary man wakes up on an ordinary day to find that he's the only living creature in the entire city. The radio and TV are suddenly filled with white noise, there's no newspaper, the Internet is down and no one's answering the phone.

Jonas is the last living being on the planet. What happened? How? Why? And why is he still here?

Thriller and philosophical investigation wrapped up in an intensely compelling, eerie mystery, Night Work is compulsive and exhilarating - but don't read it when you're all alone...

Work Description

Jonas ist allein. Zuerst ist es nur eine kleine Irritation, als die Zeitung nicht vor der Tür liegt und Fernseher und Radio nur Rauschen von sich geben. Dann jedoch wird Jonas klar, dass seine Stadt, Wien, menschenleer ist. Ist er der einzige Überlebende einer Katastrophe? Sind die Menschen geflüchtet? Wenn ja, wovor? Jonas beginnt zu suchen. Er durchstreift die Stadt, die Läden, die Wohnungen und bricht schließlich mit einem Truck auf, um nach Spuren der Menschen suchen. Mit wachsender Spannung erzählt Thomas Glavinic davon, was Menschsein heißt, wenn es keine Menschen mehr gibt.
