Ralph Bowden

Anatomy of a Factory (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

A slightly spoofy omniscient narrator introduces us to Jenner, Inc., a stove manufacturing plant in a fictional middle Tennessee town, some of its personnel, and the sociology of the roughly 100 employees. The factory is owned by a large Chicago holding company, which has recently installed an aloof CEO and his austere and ominous executive assistant. Everybody fears them, and resents their probably exorbitant salaries, their lax work schedule, and their exclusive grip on all communications with the Chicago home office. Profits are down and budgets are very tight. Nobody feels confident in the plant's future or secure in their jobs. Ultimately, Marion, the plant manager's efficient office manager, overcomes her high personal standards and conspires with the plant network nerd and a bitter and unstable ex-salesman to expose what is really going on in a struggle to save Jenner, Inc.

Autorenporträt

Ralph Bowden has entertained himself by writing mostly fiction for almost 30 years, through and following careers as an electrical engineer in the aerospace industry, a history professor, a home builder, an alternative energy consultant, an instructional designer, and a technical writer. Twenty-six novels, four story collections, a volume of collected short fiction, and a three-act play reside, mostly unread, on his hard drive. He likes all of his word children. Realistically, some of them are probably flawed and maybe even terrible. Others might entertain readers besides himself, but Ralph hasn't the time or ego drive to promote and sell, nor the stomach for collecting rejection letters. Self-publishing avoids all that and is quick. If somebody finds and likes what he has written, fine. If not, the world will go on (or not) just the same.
