Office politics and misguided lust collide in Rob Payne’s hilarious newnovel Praise for Rob Payne: "Think Nick Hornby or even Roddy Doyle…adds a much-needed rebel yellto…CanLit." ¾ Eye Magazine "What a hoot! Quirky and original…" ¾ Will Ferguson, author of Happiness "…a surprisingly heartfelt book." ¾ Quill & Quire My Life is ticking away one subway token at a time… Thus begins 30-year old Jay Thompson’s tale of life in Corporate Purgatory.From the individual production modules (a.k.a. cubicles), KGB-stylereceptionists, and inept bosses with Rod Stewart hair, life has never been easyat HMS Trust’s head office. Things are about to get a lot worse. Thanks to his "high accuracy" assessment (which took the employmentagency all of one hour to complete), Jay lands the biggestpromotion-with-out-pay in his life - as the reluctant head of a chaotic callcentre full of temps, at peak season. Enter young Samantha, a temp with more flirtatious energy than Helena BonhamCarter. And of course Jan, Jay’s longtime live-in girlfriend (a second-yeardoctoral student majoring in English Literature/Antisocial Neglect of Her LifePartner); best friend Tyler (dispenser of suspect advice, part-timeRingo Starr impersonator); brother Sheldon (armed with a major life-changingannouncement); and psychotic parents Jim and Sharon, who take bitterrecrimination to all-star levels. What we get is an honest, wickedly funny and ruthlessly disenchanting look atlife, love, and middle management in the Age of the Corporation. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
