The Scheme for Full Employment cover

‘A unique talent ... Mills's novels are among the best and most original in recent English fiction' Literary Review‘An enjoyable novel by a truly original writer' Sunday Times The Scheme was designed to provide an honest wage for an honest day's labour. Men driving identical, rust-resistant Univans deliver Univan parts to strategically spaced warehouses. Simple, self-perpetuating and efficient, it seems destined to last forever. But when some drivers begin leaving early and developing delivery sidelines, the workforce is divided into two camps: Flat-Dayers and Early Swervers. As tensions mount, the whole system threatens to fall apart...

‘Mills' odd but wonderful books combine the language of a children's story and the strange dry humour of Harold Pinter' * Daily Express *
