One of the few genuinely comic novels since Lucky Jim.\" --Elaine Dundy\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eEver since college, George Wren has dreamed of working at \u003ci\u003eThe Outsider\u003c\/i\u003e, the prestigious weekly edited by his hero, the suave English expat Gilbert Twining. So when George sees a listing for a junior editor, he trades in his job at CBS for half the salary--and a ringside seat in the unexpectedly cutthroat arena of a small-circulation, highbrow little magazine. To George's surprise and dismay, \u003ci\u003eThe Outsider\u003c\/i\u003e is seething with malcontents and mutineers, at least according to Twining, who keeps cornering George for after-work martinis, pouring out his anxieties, professional and otherwise, while George's wife, Matilda, and baby son wait for him back in Queens. Is Twining paranoid? Is he insane? Or are George's new office-mates truly plotting an insurrection? And if so, what's all of it got to do with George? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e An indelible satire of 1960s intellectual New York, Office Politics is also a celebration of that endangered species, the office, at its pettiest and most idealistic, as the proving ground where so much of grownup life takes place.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e McNally Editions\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/10\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781961341180\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 352\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.57lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.00w x 1.00d","brand":"Wilfrid Sheed","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44431958081717,"sku":"9781961341180","price":16.15,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_3f20b310-1fc0-43ae-b96b-5b7addecc543.jpg?v=1721139071","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/office-politics-9781961341180","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
