Richard J. Douglass-Chin replied to the topic Literature about business in the discussion
Postcolonial Studies in Literature and Culture on MLA Commons 10 years, 7 months agoOne novel that comes to mind is Aravind Adiga’s White Tiger, a Kafkaesque and extremely nihilistic novel about present-day India, globalization, and some of the corruption in Indian business and politics.

Postcolonial Studies in Literature and Culture on MLA Commons 10 years, 7 months agoFor a majorly dystopian view of the corporate world written in the 1950s, I recommend Kurt Vonnegut’s Player Piano. Granted, it is set in the U.S., but its view of corporations as embodying their own cultural existence was way ahead of its time. It shows a vision of what happens when mechanization has displaced human labor.
