Standing Heavy

Standing Heavy offers a sharp, satirical look at capitalism and postcolonial power through the eyes of a security guard in Paris. GauZ’ uses wit and irony to expose how race, labour, and surveillance intersect in everyday life. The novel is episodic and playful, yet deeply political. Its humour masks a serious critique of exploitation. Short, punchy scenes accumulate into a powerful portrait of structural inequality. Clever, accessible, and incisive.
