Slab Rat: A Novel 在線電子書 圖書描述

From Publishers Weekly A satirical look at the glitzy world of New York magazine publishing by a young insider, Heller's debut novel charts the progress of Zachary (Zack) Post, an overqualified underachiever with a fraudulent past. Zack is at the low end of It magazine's corporate ladder, and he is desperate to move up. Both Zack and his "friend" Willie (read: least likely to take Zack's job) are beside themselves with the arrival and meteoric ascent of New Boy Mark Larkin, a contemptible brat who cannot even work a fax machine. Larkin's inexplicable promotions set Zack and Willie scheming to sabotage him. But Zack embarks upon a series of progressively ridiculous assignments, which, unbeknownst to him, are being orchestrated by Larkin to keep him away from the office as the new star consolidates power. He thinks that Zack has too many "friends" on staff, such as the New Girl intern, Ivy Kooper (daughter of the magazine's lead counsel), and Zack's strategic marriage interest, rich Brit Leslie Usher-Soames. And Zeke's still pining away for his lost lust Marjorie Millet (the sexpot art director whom he used to shtup in Stairway B and who is now alternately shtupping both Ivy's father and, of course, Mark Larkin). Meanwhile, masochist extraordinaire Willie stops sleeping, begins talking to the walls and buys a gun, swearing to do Larkin in. Ever the rat scheming in his concrete-and-glass slab, Zack plays all the angles he can, forging alliances with powerful enemies and alienating his unsuccessful friends as he tries to get Larkin's job. Like the 1994 film Swimming with Sharks, the novel cutely depicts the full-contact politics, false loyalties and colossal waste of the Great American Office. Heller's Machiavellian comedy is a reasonably entertaining (if unoriginal) first attempt, with special appeal for publishing types. (Feb.) Copyright 1999 Reed Business Information, Inc. From Library Journal If Dante were around today, hell would be measured not in circles but in cubicles. Heller's assured, darkly comic debut critiques the magazine publishing industry in much the same way that Jason Starr's Cold Caller (LJ 6/1/98) criticized telemarketing. Each magazine has one floor of a 60-story monolithic tower, and Zachary Arlen Post is a Gen-X cog in the wheel on one of these floors. Literally a self-made man--his curriculum vitae is a total fabrication--Zach has one sharp eye trained on promotion. When nemesis Mark Larkin confronts him, Zach gets caught up in office craftiness and begins to do things that even he at one time would have thought beneath him. The ensuing office warfare makes Antietam look almost mannerly, and Zach's just desserts, when finally served up, are properly Dantean. As one of his office pals might suggest for the headline of an article on this first novelist, the son of Joseph Heller--"Give 'Em (More) Heller." For all larger public libraries.-Bob Lunn, Kansas City P.L., MO Copyright 1999 Reed Business Information, Inc. See all Editorial Reviews
