The Assistant is a fictionalized comedic memoir about a classically trained secretary. Join Molly on her journey from a childhood fascination with the office paraphernalia on her grandmother's large and alluring desk at the Pontiac dealership in Jamestown, New York to her position as a legal assistant in a high-powered Manhattan law firm. Follow her unfolding career choices and learn about her interactions with drunken bosses, lecherous supervisors and complete morons at the top of the business chain. Witness her maintaining her composure and dignity and sometimes losing both entirely. For those who have ever scratched out a living supporting the world's movers and shakers, this memoir offers a fresh look at the complexities of making your superiors (who often turn out to be your inferiors) look good. The Assistant is cleverly conceived, fast-paced and well executed. The prose is nimble, with laugh out loud character analysis in every chapter.
