A satire of corporate culture, job-hunting, and America's obsession with success, careers and status. It's the 1980s--the rise of the yuppie. A world of ex-hippie success gurus and millionaire cookie barons. Marxist revolutionaries and Ayn Rand cultists. Nightmarish job interviews and hellish subway rides. And at the corporate bottom -- the nameless and the faceless. Petty coworkers and cheap office parties. Secretaries and clerks and office drones leading lives of quiet desperation in a little gray cubicle in yuppie hell. In the tradition of Bonfire of the Vanities, Clockwatchers, Dilbert, and The Office. A story of friendship, romance, and the search for the perfect résumé. Funny and entertaining. -- Carolina Review, December 2001 Brilliantly twisted humor. The most hilarious American novel I've read this year. Entertaining and insightful parody of modern American mores. -- The Houston Review, August 26, 2001 Satire of corporate life and personal greed in 1980s New York. An amusing work with clever period details and phrasing. -- American Outlook, Winter 2002 Well-written, fast-paced, and unapologetically caustic in its humor. Check it out--you'll be glad you did. -- Midwest Book Review, May 2002
