But manager Ken Guy and his assistant Bruce carry on with their daily rituals even as the facility falls apart around them. Lately, however, certain tenants have been disappearing off the face of the earth, leaving behind units full of valuable items. Ken has no idea where these rent defaulters have gone but he thinks he might be able to turn their abandoned 'things' into a nice little earner that could help save his business. But the disappearances are accompanied by strange occurrences such as Bruce's inexplicable late-night excursions, Ken's intensifying aversion to fluorescent lights, and Ken's girlfriend's intensifying aversion to Ken. While further along the motorway, construction of a rival facility - Pharoah's Tomb Self Storage, part of a nationwide franchise - hints at a mysterious past and a precarious future. A surprisingly funny study of physical and mental deterioration, David Cohen's second novel is never quite what it seems. Sharply attuned to the absurdities of contemporary urban life, it is that rare literary beast, a comic drama that is at once intelligent and suspenseful, humorous and deep. 588 0 Print version record. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 650 0 Self-service storage facilities|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh85119799|zAustralia|zBrisbane (Qld.)|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n79115478-781 |vFiction.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh99001562 650 0 Business failures|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects /sh85018314|zAustralia|zBrisbane (Qld.)|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n79115478-781|vFiction. |0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh99001562 650 0 Missing persons|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85086014|zAustralia|zBrisbane (Qld.)|0https://id.loc.gov /authorities/names/n79115478-781|vFiction.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh99001562 650 0 Employees|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh87002489|xPsychology|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh2002011487|vFiction.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh99001562 650 0 City and town life|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85026255|zAustralia|zBrisbane (Qld.)|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n79115478-781|vFiction. |0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh99001562 650 7 Self-service storage facilities.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/1111932 650 7 Business failures.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 842694 650 7 Missing persons.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1023702 650 7 Employees|xPsychology.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast /909170 650 7 Employees.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/909111 650 7 City and town life.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 862081 651 0 Brisbane (Qld.)|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/ n79115478|xSocial life and customs|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh2001008851|vFiction.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh99001562 651 7 Australia.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1204543 655 0 Australian fiction. 655 4 Electronic books. 655 7 Fiction.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1423787 655 7 Humorous fiction.|2lcgft|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ genreForms/gf2014026377 655 7 Humorous fiction.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1726649 776 08 |iPrint version:|aCohen, David Phillip, 1967- |tDisappearing off the face of the Earth.|dMelbourne, Victoria : Transit Lounge Publishing, 2017|z9780995359482 |w(OCoLC)979536986 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=1510809|zOnline eBook.
