Yoel Noorali is a former NHS administrator and writer of fiction and non-fiction living in London. In a surreal and hilarious mix of fiction and autobiography, The Kingdom follows a host of misfits and losers struggling to devote themselves to the religion of the 21st century: work. Set predominantly within the admin office of an NHS liver wing, the collection chronicles the strange behaviours of men cornered by a bureaucracy that lets indignity run rampant. from the book: "But before I heeded the call of accountancy, I needed to completely rule out the possibility I might be Philip Roth. My wife and I had agreed I’d admit defeat after four more years of clicking. Then, adequately crushed, my real life could commence. Until then, I’d open my novel in a tiny window in the bottom right-hand corner of my computer screen, the rest occupied by images from a stranger’s MRI, and write."
