This week Mr B's Book Monkey is reading.......

"Then We Came to the End" by Joshua Ferris

 

A superb and entertaining debut novel set in the gossip-crammed corridors and cubicle doorways of a Chicago ad agency. From its brilliant first line, “We were fractious and overpaid”, the novel immerses us into the tense and hollow world of an office with too little work and even less enthusiasm.   Ferris introduces us to a bizarre range of office-workers whose equivalent you could find in any office environment, and explores their obsession with the mundane even in the midst of job-cuts and serious personal crises. Even with a boss apparently battling breast cancer and an associate grieving a murdered child, the most pressing question is whether Benny is paying too much to store a totem pole.   Paperback - Penguin £7.99  - Click here to buy online
