Our narrator is evicted from a forty-square-meter apartment "with lots of light" that actually faces a sunless courtyard. He has nine months to find another in a city that can no longer afford him. Along for the ride: a flatmate who's bet everything on a dog-themed cryptocurrency, a wellness influencer, a fourth tenant he never sees, and Remei, the eighty-two-year-old neighbor who hangs her laundry in the sun against the end of the world. A big-hearted, very funny novel about rent, passion-work, the apps, the betting, loneliness, and a planet that's evicting us too - with good manners. Because the landlord, the bank, and the algorithm don't care if you cry. What they can't stand is your laughing at them.
