THEN WE CAME TO THE END





[07/27/2007]
 

From the cover flap:
"With a demon's eye for the details that make life worth noticing, Joshua Ferris tells a true and funny story about survival in life's strangest environment - the one we pretend is normal five days a week."

In the era of Michael, Pam, Jim and Dwight, author Joshua Ferris brings us Tom, Karen, Lynn, Benny, Marcia, Joe, Hank and the other staffers at a major advertising agency based in Chicago.

Anyone who has worked in an office, particularly in advertising, will recognize the furniture wars, celebrity death watch bets, and the true tender moments between co-workers.

I picked up this book because it was recommended by Nick Hornby. You should read it because I'm recommending it to you.
