Agudelo's books have always been concerned with the relationship between
worker and consumer, whether in the kitchens or in the neighborhood, but
in The Bosses, his spectacular third outing, Agudelo's sharp focus
finally lands on the seen and unseen authority figures who dictate the
boundaries of our lives, contemplating power structures from the current
managerial culture to a historical exploration of the role that
authority plays in our lives.
