Informácie o knihe
Joshua Ferris'&,nbsp,Then We Came To The End&,nbsp,- part of the limited edition PENGUIN STREET ART series: timeless writing, enduring design.
'We were fractious and overpaid. Our mornings lacked promise. At least those of us who smoked had something to look forward to at ten-fifteen'
They spend their days - and too many of their nights - at work. Away from friends and family, they share a stretch of stained carpet with a group of strangers they call colleagues. There's Chris Yop, clinging to his ergonomic chair, Lynn Mason, the boss, whose breast cancer everyone pretends not to talk about, Carl Garbedian, secretly taking someone else's medication, Marcia Dwyer, whose hair is stuck in the eighties, and Benny, who's just - well, just Benny. Amidst the boredom, redundancies, water cooler moments, meetings, flirtations and pure rage, life is happening, to their great surprise, all around them.
'Outstanding . . . incisive, urgent, funny and snappily written'&,nbsp,Sunday Times
