Set in a twilight zone of glass towers, elevators and late-stage capitalism, this is a collection of stories about the business world—recession-struck and facing threats from rogue forces such as ghosts, lovers and communists. The cast includes a manipulative-philanthropist ghost of a chairman, a footless whore in Siberia who has mastered the art of lovemaking, and a trade union leader who wrung a promise of jeans and perfumed soap out of the factory bosses.
