They are everywhere—we see them every day. Whether in Delhi, Tel Aviv, Buenos Aires, Istanbul, or Berlin, they buzz through the cities: food delivery riders. Tomer Gardi weaves their stories into a global epic of our times, giving a voice to those who otherwise have none. Delivering tells of racism and exploitation, of love, family, and the deep longing for connection.

In terms of tone—literary, contemporary, with a sweeping arc that fuses depth and humor—›Delivering‹ recalls Jonathan Safran Foer’s ›Everything Is Illuminated‹, with a dash of Dave Eggers and his keen eye for the phenomena of the present and the divide of societies. Gardi’s blend of styles and literary genres will also resonate with readers of Bolaño’s ›2666‹.
