«Le quai de Ouistreham» is Florence Aubenas's nonfiction account, published by Éditions de l'Olivier in paperback (269 pages, in French).
Florence Aubenas, a journalist, temporarily leaves her profession to look for work anonymously in a French city without contacts. With only her high-school diploma as a qualification, she signs on as unemployed and, for nearly six months (February–July 2009), strings together precarious cleaning jobs. The book portrays a world where work and solidarity are scarce.
The work was published in 2010. The investigation took place in Caen (Calvados), France; Florence Aubenas was then a reporter at Le Nouvel Observateur.
For readers interested in narrative journalism, the sociology of work, and testimonies about job precarity.
