I worked a holiday season at an Amazon warehouse in Lexington, Kentucky in 2014.
I remember pulling orders from the print on demand area which occupied it's own corner of the facility.
I don't think that I was aware of your writing at the time Linh. I'd stop and leaf through some of the titles that struck my eye. I'd think that your books would have stood out by their titles alone.
Kafka, Anti-Semite and other artsy fartsy essays arrived recently.
I wonder if the order puller was a robot or real person.
Wonderful photographs!
