The Work & Money Bundle brings together three Unsolicited Press titles that explore labor, capitalism, and survival from different angles: satire, lived experience, and quiet resistance. Anchored by Ron Pullins’s darkly funny novel DOLLARTORIUM, this bundle is for readers questioning the myths of success and looking for what actually endures. What’s Included Dollartorium A sharp, satirical novel about hustle culture, get-rich-quick schemes, and the dignity of honest work. Set in small-town Kansas and centered on a corndog maker pulled into a collapsing business empire, DOLLARTORIUM skewers late-stage capitalism without punching down and lands somewhere humane, funny, and quietly hopeful. A Long Way from Anywhere An exploration of labor, self-sufficiency, and the American myth of making it on your own. A clear-eyed look at work, survival, and the stories we tell ourselves about independence. Under the Radar A collection of stories about overlooked lives and quiet resistance. These are people living outside the spotlight, enduring, adapting, and finding meaning beyond visibility or reward. Why These Books Together Taken together, these three books ask: What does honest work actually mean? Who gets left out of success narratives? What survives when the system doesn’t work?
