Grassroots Power Plays

A realistic political drama inspired by the author’s more than ten years of real-life experience, a record of officialdom that seems impossible, yet truly exists. In official circles, people say only half of what they mean, leaving you to figure out the rest for yourself. The road through the bureaucracy is both simple and complicated. It is simple enough that, from your first day on the job, you can already picture yourself at retirement. It is complicated enough that even when you retire, some work methods and skills remain just as they were when you first entered the workplace. In short, the work is simple, but people’s hearts are complicated.
