Book Synopsis


Trade Review
"What looks at first glance like a sweet-tempered satire of workplace culture is revealed upon closer inspection to be a very serious novel about, well, America. It may even be, in its own modest way, a great American novel." -- Los Angeles Times "A masterwork of pitch and tone... Ferris brilliantly captures the fishbowl quality of contemporary office life." -- The New Yorker "Not too many authors have written the Great American Office Novel. Joseph Heller did it in Something Happened (the one book of his to rival Catch-22). And Nicholson Baker pulled it off in zanily fastidious fashion in The Mezzanine. To their ranks should be added Joshua Ferris, whose THEN WE CAME TO THE END feels like a readymade classic of the genre... A truly affecting novel about work, trust, love, and loneliness." -- Seattle Times
