A HILARIOUS SATIRE THAT SHOWS OFFICE DYNAMICS AT THEIR MOST PETTY
AND PROFOUND FROM THE BOOKER PRIZE-SHORTLISTED AUTHOR, JOSHUA
FERRIS 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, clinging to his ergonomic chair; Lynn, the boss, whose
breast cancer everyone pretends not to talk about; Carl, secretly
taking someone else's medication; Marcia, 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. Then We Came to the End is about sitting all morning
next to someone you cross the road to avoid at lunch. It's the
story of your life and mine. *Joshua Ferris' mind-blowing new book,
A Calling for Charlie Barnes, is available to pre-order now.* 'Very
funny, intense and exhilarating . . . For the first time in
fiction, it has truly captured the way we work' The Times 'As
dazzling as Franzen's The Corrections and as confident as Tartt's
The Secret History . . . Exceptional, very funny' Daily Telegraph
'Slick, sophisticated and very funny, Ferris's cracking debut has
modern Everyman fighting for his identity in an increasingly
impersonal world' Daily Mail
