This book is about the problems faced by able-bodied men who are forced to live off public
welfare, or "on the dole." Based on the author's daily interaction with a hundred unemployed men in
one Newfoundland village, this sensitive probe takes on a narrative form centred on one man and his
family, and his struggle to maintain their self-esteem in the community. For, to be excused for being
unemployed, a man must constantly show his desire to work.
