"Stedsegrønt" er et varmt og levende portræt af de danske arbejderes liv i 1960‘erne. Vi møder Gurli og Lars, da de som helt unge finder sammen og tager voksenlivets udfordringer op én for én ved hinandens side. Bogen handler samtidig om arbejdernes kamp for et bedre liv og bedre arbejdsvilkår og om kommunismens fremstød i Danmark i 1960‘erne. John Max Pedersen (f.1942-1992) var en dansk kommunist, arbejder og forfatter. Som 14-årig meldte han sig ind i DKU og kæmpede siden som værftsarbejder for arbejderens rettigheder.

It’s 2022 and Helen is starting again. Newly single, dogged by grief, adrift in a hostile rental market, she finds a four-bedroom house flanked by apartment blocks that stare into the yard.

But if a rented house in Sydney could ever promise salvation, it would come with a coating of black mould.
