Books like Care of wooden floors by Will Wiles
Oskar, a minimalist composer, is in Los Angeles after having his marriage broken up by lawyers. He entrusts an old university friend with the task of taking care of his cats and apartment in an Eastern European city. Despite the fact that Oskar has left dozens of surreally detailed notes covering every aspect of taking care of the flat, things do not go well. Care of Wooden Floors is about how a tiny oversight can trip off a disastrous and farcical chain of consequences. It's about a friendship between two men who don't know each other very well. It's about the quest for perfection and the struggle against entropy. And it is, a little, about how to take care of wooden floors.
