'"It was the hottest day on memory. It felt like the world was in a muggy slow-motion trance - All David Banks wanted to do was go home and sleep and wait until winter.
But the man had obligations and hibernations were not an available option. For he had a business to run and leaving seven hours early before clocking off was just unacceptable. David Banks established and created the first batch of Banks Fine Wine over twenty five years ago to this day. The only thing was the wine he produced wasn't very fine at all. In fact it only came in a 5 liter cardboard cask and was aimed at a demographic of young rowdy teenagers, the homeless and students living on the dole."
'What do a lawyer by the name of Steinbeck, a depressed wine manufacture. A takeaway chicken company using recipes from Nazi Germany and a twenty-cent piece have in common? Well, not a lot except they all somehow freakishly relate to modern consumerism. At least in this book they do.
'"Let's Talk Consumerism" is the second short story collection by Nathan Roche and is pretty similar to the first one. But don't let that put you off because chances are you haven't even read it. Regardless, here's yet another brief journey into the world of satirical absurdism.'
