| ![]() America’s First Call Center Fiction Novel Debuts4465 PReSS Announces Third, Thought-Provoking, Paperback Narrative from Celebrated Author, LiNCOLN PARK
By: 4465 PReSS HANDLE TiME is a fabled and fancifully woven tapestry of corporate protocols, consumer perceptions, and cubicled personnel, set in Banfield, MO – a fictitious municipality in the heart of the Ozarks; the center of the American Midwest. HANDLE TiME is the printed testament to the people you call every day -- who give you troubleshooting tips, sales slogans, prepaid phone minutes, driving directions and bank balances. Have you ever wondered where THEY go once you hang up the phone? HANDLE TiME tells the story of Chase Maybruck, a single, apartment dweller, whose brief career as a call-center employee is terminated when a rapacious manager causes her to experience a full-blown panic-attack. The publication of HANDLE TiME comes approximately one year after the release of the Indian novel, ONE NIGHT @ THE CALL CENTER, by Chetan Bhagat. Some American critics have dismissed Bhagat’s book as a poor storybook composition; “I hope readers in America flock to HANDLE TiME, in the same way that Indian readers flocked to ONE NIGHT @ THE CALL CENTER,” says LiNCOLN PARK; “HANDLE TiME provides a literary identity and voice to all the overworked, underpaid and unrecognized superstars who report to call centers in America, each and every day." HANDLE TiME is an incredibly imagined landscape of ideas and a broad, beautifully achieved canvas of wordage; painting an unprecedented and resonant portrait of an American, working-class experience; a spectacular story about the character and consequence of an American Call Center. It is an extraordinarily inventive, original engagement that is destined to be a bookstore blockbuster!
