Sadvertising

Dive into the surreal world of Sadvertising, an innovative literary work that walks the fine line between humor and existential dread. In this brilliant collection of satirical fables, written by the talented Ennis Cehic, we encounter an array of characters navigating the absurdities of modern life. Imagine a man who tired of the communication chaos of open-plan offices and transforms his workspace into a whimsical fortress of stationery – a symbol of retreat from the mundane. Feel the despair of a woman who achieves the fleeting triumph of Desktop Zero, only to be swallowed by realities of office life. Each narrative, penned with sharp wit, invites readers to reflect on themes such as love, loneliness, art, and commerce, wrapped in the fabric of lively surrealism. As iPhones develop feelings, brands take on personas, and ordinary freelancers become extraordinary, Cehic seamlessly satirizes late capitalism and the relentless quest for meaning in our lives, making Sadvertising nothing short of a contemporary masterpiece.

Description:
A man grows tired of his open-plan office and builds a fort made of stationery. A woman's euphoria at finally achieving Desktop Zero is quickly replaced with despair. A group of copywriters dream of being poets, and a disillusioned sales executive overthinks his think piece.

In the mind-bendingly upside-down world of Sadvertising, iPhones have feelings, brands come to life, creative directors disappear into parallel universes and lowly freelancers become immortal. It's a world where gods, ghosts and muses stalk the corridors of bland and placeless offices, and the wondrous exists alongside the mundane.

Short, punchy and direct, Ennis Cehic's satirical fables are box-fresh and shot through with pitch-black humour, existential dread and late capitalist yearning for meaning. They grapple with love and loneliness, art and commerce, dream and reality, and reflect the absurdity of the modern condition.

Sadvertising is a surreal, subversive and utterly contemporary literary debut from an unforgettable new voice.
