'Many astute observations about loneliness [and] class attitudes... very funny on the tedium of office life.' Irish Independent 'Joyful, tender, and strangely relatable . . . With sharp, playful prose, Veldman tells a story in equal parts searing intelligence and madcap sweetness. Simply brilliant.' Jenny Mustard This is a story of girl meets printer. A customer service assistant spends her long workdays printing letters. Her one friend is the printer and, in the dark confines of her office, she begins to open up to him, talking about her fears, her past, her hopes and dreams. To her, it seems like a beautiful friendship is blossoming. To her boss, it seems like she's losing her mind. Diagnosed with burnout and placed on leave, she faces severance and - worse - separation from her beloved printer. But she's not about to give up on her only friend without a fight. And, it turns out, neither is he... Weird, incisive and unforgettable, Hard Copy is perfect for fans of Sayaka Murata and Halle Butler.

En una empresa emergente, una joven alergica al estres por un trastorno autoinmune dedica sus dias a imprimir cartas, tarea tan monotona como su vida. Encerrada en la oficina, conversa con la impresora confiandole sus miedos, su pasado y sus deseos de futuro. En esta relacion entranable y absurda, la maquina se vuelve todo para ella -pareja, amiga, hija, mascota- hasta que un fallo en la impresora la refleja a ella misma: quebrada y fuera de lugar. Su jefe la manda a casa al verla sobrepasada, arrebatandole la unica compania que daba sentido a su existencia y quedando asi la maquina abandonada, como un eco de su propia soledad. Xerox es una novela conmovedora e ingeniosa sobre la fragilidad de los vinculos en la sociedad capitalista tardia. Con humor incisivo y ternura inesperada, la novela muestra como buscamos humanidad en lo mas insolito y como la rutina puede volverse un espacio de resistencia. Fien Veldman convierte lo ordinario en extraordinario y revela la belleza escondida en lo cotidiano. Su debut, divertido y visionario, recuerda en tono y tematica a El nuevo yo de Halle Butler y La dependienta de Sayaka Murata.
