Fiction
In an unnamed New York-based company, the employees are
getting restless as everything around them unravels. There’s Pru, the former grad student turned spreadsheet
drone; Laars, the hysteric whose work anxiety stalks him in
his tooth-grinding dreams; and Jack II, who distributes
unwanted backrubs–aka “jackrubs”–to his co-workers. On a Sunday, one of them is called at home. And the Firings
begin. Rich with Orwellian doublespeak, filled with sabotage and
romance, this astonishing literary debut is at once a comic
delight and a narrative tour de force. It’s a novel for
anyone who has ever worked in an office and
wondered: “Where does the time go? Where does the life go?
And whose banana is in the fridge?
