Description	The Mop is a novel by Alan Simpson, first published in 2012. "Publishing release on Piecelock 70 Artist co op site" Though told in the style of the narrative Great American Novels, this unusual contribution to the world of literature explores one man's journey as a Sex shop clerk in Sydney’s thriving Red-light district. The story tells the adventures of the author as he wanders from store to store in an effort to both complete the unusual tasks required by his employers and find himself along the way.In The Mop, Simpson employs stylized language, powerful description, and the metaphor to explore the taboo sexual situations he is encountered with. Through the journey of the main character, the concepts of "normal" sexuality, class and social status, and lost love are examined as the main character speculates upon his personal beliefs and place within the subculture he has inadvertently become a part of. The narrator's reflections, along with his descriptions of a clerk's life amidst the thriving red-light district, are woven into the narrative along with Shakespearean literary devices, such as numerous asides. The result is a book that while not specifically a Comedy novel, has been described as "laugh out loud funny" Torres, Justin
