Jonathan Abernathy You Are Kind
Book description
"The novel is a magical-realist office drama infused with millennial anomie, and McGhee's canny, often bittersweetly hilarious prose reads as if George Saunders infiltrated the Severance writers' room."

Why read it?
1 author picked Jonathan Abernathy You Are Kind as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Molly McGhee’s debut novel centers around a wayward young man who accepts a new job auditing the dreams of unsuspecting middle class workers.
I found it crushing and poignant—all things one would expect from a workplace novel that hits far too close to home—but more surprisingly, I found it immensely funny. We spend a great deal of our lives faced with a choice between laughing and crying about the state of our existence. I choose the former.
From Jinwoo's list on to cure (or rather validate) your post-capitalist malaise.
