He's a hiring partner at one of the world's largest law
firms. Brilliant yet ruthless, he has little patience for
associates who leave the office before midnight or steal
candy from the bowl on his secretary's desk. He hates
holidays and paralegals. And he's just started a weblog to
tell the world about what life is really like at the top
of his profession.
Meet Anonymous Lawyer--corner office, granite desk,
and a billable rate of $675 an hour. The summer is about
to start, and he's got a new crop of law school interns
who will soon sign away their lives for a six-figure
salary at the firm. But he's also got a few problems that
require his attention. There's The Jerk, his bitter rival
at the firm, who is determined to do whatever it takes to
beat him out for the chairman's job. There's Anonymous
Wife, who is spending his money as fast as he can make it.
And there's that secret blog he's writing, which is a
perverse bit of fun until he gets an e-mail from someone
inside the firm who knows he's its author.
Written in the form of a blog, ANONYMOUS LAWYER is a
spectacularly entertaining debut that rips away the bland
façade of corporate law and offers a telling glimpse
inside a frightening world. Hilarious and fiendishly
clever, Jeremy Blachman's tale of a lawyer who lives a lie
and posts the truth is sure to be one of the year's most
talked-about novels.
