Críticas:
"An extravagant treat of an office novel, for fans of "Memento" and "The Mezzanine". I loved it." --Ed Park, author of "Personal Days""" "Original, very funny and very poignant. Read it!" --Paul Torday, author of "Salmon Fishing in the Yemen" "A clever office send-up that depicts one man questioning (quite literally) who he is, and who he wants to be . . . . A remarkably fun read." --"Publishers Weekly" (starred review)"""" "It's wonderful. Funny, poignant, simple and profound - it's the kind of book I absolutely love. And it has the best ending I've read in a very long time." --Gavin Extence, author of "The Universe Versus Alex Woods" "Very funny . . . . the work wittily explores the little moments that add up to disappointment and regret . . . . VERDICT Highly recommended." --"Library Journal" (starred review) "This great debut feels fresh and playful, and exceptionally readable (footnotes have never been so addictive). Every book seems to have 'funny and life-affirming' written on it but this one actually is." --Matt Haig, author of "The Humans""" "Hilarious . . . . An original office comedy that dots all the I's and crosses all the T's: Think a dash of Office Space, a pinch of Palahniuk and a glance at Regarding Henry." --"Kirkus Reviews""" "Delivered with a profusion of witty quips and tongue-in-cheek footnotes, Glancy's first novel is written with a wry humor that belies the poignant life lessons within." --"Booklist""" "Carefully plotted, fresh and amusing . . . . Frank, himself, is wryly funny and likeable, so much so that when he eventually exacts his delightful and appropriate revenge you feel like cheering." --"Midwest Book Review"



"Frank sorts through the "terms and conditions" of his life in agonizing, comic detail, mingling fantasy and reality . . . . The format (emails and obsessive footnotes) is entertaining, and the author's insights into the predatory aspects of human behavior are spot on." --"New York Times" "A clever office send-up that depicts one man questioning (quite literally) who he is, and who he wants to be . . . .
