About this audiobook
Andy Wilson is a factory worker with a painter's soul, trapped in a world that rewards obedience and punishes beauty. His cupboard beneath the stairs becomes a sanctuary of scrawled poetry and quiet rebellion. For the Likes of Us is a brutal, unflinching portrait of working-class entrapment and creative suffocation - Orwellian in its clarity and stripped of redemption, this is not a story of hope. It's a story of resistance; but if beauty is buried, can it survive?
