Going Postal
Convicted swindler Moist von Lipwig is offered a choice between execution and reviving Ankh-Morpork's failing post office. Competing with a ruthless communications company requires him to motivate eccentric employees, confront the dead letters, and redirect his talent for performance toward public service. The job becomes meaningful almost against his will. Fast, funny, and oddly inspiring, this fantasy fits a travel day for readers who enjoy reinvention, workplace comedy, institutional reform, and charming rogues discovering a conscience.
