Читать книгу Kevin Kramer Starts on Monday - Debbie Graber - Страница 2

“Kevin Kramer Starts on Monday offers satirical fiction that causes you to howl with laughter at the same moment its sharply exposed horrors cut into you. Debbie Graber’s stories capture the absurdities of the 21^st century corporate workplace in which white-collar millennials find their inboxes always brimming with new incentives for betrayal and self-betrayal. Neither the powerless nor the powerful outrun their demons in these brilliantly funny and bruising tales of American ‘enterprise.’”

KEVIN McILVOY,

AUTHOR OF THE COMPLETE HISTORY OF NEW MEXICO

“Evoking Mike Judge, George Saunders, and Cate Dicharry in capturing the humor and dark panic in today’s workplace, Graber’s cast of corporate charlatans, doomed dreamers, and deluded strivers are brilliant and wholly original.”

J. RYAN STRADAL,

AUTHOR OF KITCHENS OF THE GREAT MIDWEST

“Debbie Graber’s stories are crisp, sardonic, and funny—as antic and acerbic as they are intelligent and alert. A sly and incisive observer of human nature, Debbie Graber will win you over with this delightful debut.”

SARA LEVINE,

AUTHOR OF TREASURE ISLAND III

“Kevin Kramer Starts on Monday skewers that place where so many of us spend our days and about which we spend the other hours of our lives complaining: the modern workplace. In this bitingly funny, precisely crafted collection, Debbie Graber takes on office excess: happy hours, overtime, trysts, and petty grievances. In doing so, she questions our societal notions of success and failure and invites us to laugh at our bosses and coworkers and, perhaps most of all, ourselves—knowing that if we don’t laugh, we just might cry. Kevin Kramer Starts on Monday is satire at its most incisive.”
