The Best Novel About Office Life Ever Written

Joshua Ferris’ 2007 novel Then We Came to the End is required reading for anyone who has ever worked in an office and found themselves caught up in the day-to-day antics of that crazy family you call your co-workers.

Set at a Chicago advertising agency at the tail end of the dot.com bubble, Then We Came to the End tells the story of lay-offs, practical jokes and the general coping mechanisms we all employ to get through our day. The novel (a tremendous first effort by writer Ferris) perfectly nails the gossip, rumors and deadlines of the modern office.

Ferris knows the territory he’s covering here – he himself was a dot.com advertising copywriter who experienced all the dizzying highs and terrifying lows of that turn of the century moment when the Internet bubble burst.

The book is laugh-out-funny, and is so well-written that it appeared on hundreds of “Best Books of 2007” lists around the country.

If you’re in a cubicle as you read this blog post, you owe it to yourself to pick up a copy of Then We Came to the End.
