Synopsis

Mayor Julian Thorne runs his city from a very great height - right up until one bad photograph puts him one viral headline from irrelevance. So he does what any billionaire in his position would do: he vanishes for two weeks, checks into a rooming house under a fake name, and sets out to remember what an ordinary Tuesday feels like. He is spectacularly bad at it. He negotiates the price of a coffee. He tips a laundromat like it's a hotel restaurant. He gets corrected on bus etiquette by people half his age and none of his patience. And somewhere between a food bank line, a broken boiler, and the least impressed barista in the province, he discovers something considerably worse than embarrassment: the apartment building down the street from his rented room - and the forty families about to be evicted from it - belongs to him. Julian came looking for perspective. He found the thing he came to fix. Now he has one Monday council vote he can't dodge, one neighbor who still doesn't know his real name, and exactly two weeks to decide whether he's willing to lose everything he built his reputation on in order to deserve it. THE RICHEST MAN ON THE BUS is a dry-witted, big-hearted comedy about hypocrisy, housing, and the specific humiliation of learning who you really are from a stranger's newspaper - for readers who like their laughs with a genuine ache underneath

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

About the Author Felix N.BBA.MA.QA'rb. writes fiction that treats ordinary communities as the site of extraordinary moral weight - small towns and mid-sized cities where a single formula, a single silence, or a single inherited decision turns out to carry the whole history of who a place has chosen to protect and who it has chosen to let go quiet. Felix's work returns often to the same conviction: that injustice rarely announces itself as villainy. It arrives instead as policy, as process, as the reasonable-sounding choice a frightened, well-intentioned person makes under pressure - and that fiction's job is to make that choice visible again, long after the institutions built on top of it have learned to call it normal. Felix lives close enough to water to never quite stop thinking about what it remembers.
