Perfect Tense

About this book

The anonymous middle-aged narrator is a man broken on the wheel of office life--the beige wheel of grinding routine the uniform gray carpets the endless buff envelopes. He takes us on a terrifyingly familiar tour of office life that is at once hilarious and profound. One mans unravelling philosophical crisis amid the retirement parties and sandwiches becomes a metaphysical search for order and purpose deep in the back of a desk drawer.
