Joshua Ferris is the author of Then We Came To The End. The novel is about working at an advertising agency or rather the characters who worked there. Like all offices there are characters, romances, and office pranks. Reading this book reminded me of watching the TV series, The Office. One guy is sure he will be fired for taking the chair of a coworker soon after they left. The chair haunts him. In truth no one knew he took the chair and no one cares but he doesn't know that. People always gather in the cubicle of the office story teller (gossiper). One of the employees dies of a heart attack. He leaves something in his will to one of his coworkers who wasn't expecting it. He has no idea why the guy left him a totem pole. He visits the totem pole at the guy's house until it is sold. Then he puts the totem pole in a storage facility. This was a very entertaining book to read. The head honcho at the agency appears to have it all together but behind the scenes she is the most conflicted person unable to act in her own best interests.
