Our Appliances Book Description

Its life in suburban Connecticut as seen through a discussion of the familys appliances. Our Appliances, a satire of Americas hyper-consumer society, is presented in the self-deprecating monologue of a middle-aged baby boomer enslaved to a corporate job, a man who must deal with a thousand household fix-it/breakdown situations and the indignities of interactions with rude and miserable retail workers, especially his nemesis, the Home Depot. A highly readable and existential take on the mundane proceedings of a guy with no interest in home improvement, saddled with the responsibilities of modern suburban house-care.
"Our Appliances" is a satirical look at modern suburban life in the United States through a look at one family's appliances, new and old, working and not working, useless and essential. It includes social adventures experienced through the inevitable visits to the Home Depot, Wal-Mart and Sears.
