Alles in Butter #[nn]

Published by Bund-Verlag in 2012, *Alles in Butter* ("Everything's Fine") promises "irrwitzige Geschichten aus dem Alltag eines Betriebsrats" — zany stories from the everyday life of a works council. Reinhard Alff's cover art sets the tone perfectly: two groups of exaggerated, rubbery characters face off across a round table bearing a model factory building, an A+B document, and a small block of butter, capturing the comic tension of workplace negotiations with a light, caricature touch. If you've ever sat through a staff meeting and felt the absurdity bubbling just beneath the surface, this one looks like it speaks your language.
