Adventures in Capitalism

Sophie Shrimpton

** spoiler alert **
           A collection of short stories, some pointless, some mediocre and some entertaining.

My favourites:

It Could Have Been Me and It Was was the type of story I expected from the title, and a good intro to the series - though clearly I did not understand most of the outdated references.

Mr Kipling explores the muddled-mind of an elderly man who develops an imagined relationship with a nostalgic yet false brand name. 

Please Use a Basket transforms a tool of the bourgeoisie into a tool of a revolution, both times capitalising on the attractiveness of her averageness

Fuck Gabriel x2. I connected with the postscript on the basis that you are either part of the Zeitgeist or you are observing it - you cannot do both. 

After Wagamama But Mostly Before was a confusing clusterfuck - sorry - emulation of social reality, the shaping and defining of identity by whoever is perceiving it 

And of course it ends with Michel Foucault. Who else could have inspired the Wagadrama
