Fiction
"Immensely witty...thoroughly entertaining."--The
Washington Post Book World
Paul Trilby is having
a bad day. If he were to be honest with himself, Paul Trilby
would have to admit that he's having a bad life. His wife
left him. Three subsequent girlfriends left him. He's fallen
from a top-notch university teaching job, to a textbook
publisher, to, eventually, working as a temp writer for the
Texas Department of General Services. And even here, in this
land of carpeted partitions and cheap lighting fixtures,
Paul cannot escape the curse his life has become. For it is
not until he begins a tentative romance with the office's
sassy mail girl that he begins to notice things are truly
wrong. Strange sounds come from the air conditioning vents,
the ceiling bulges, a body disappears. Mysterious men lurk
about town, wearing thick glasses and pocket
protectors...
Kings of Infinite Space is a hilarious
and horrifying spoof on our everyday lives and gives true
voice to the old adage, "Work is Hell."
