À propos de ce contenu audio

“The daily grind got you down? Escape into this Swedish dark comedy about a scaldingly contemptuous office drone who discovers a secret room in his workplace.”—O: The Oprah Magazine

The inspiration for the upcoming feature film Corner Office, starring Jon Hamm

Björn is a compulsive, meticulous bureaucrat who discovers a secret room at the government office where he works—a secret room that no one else in his office will acknowledge. When Björn is in his room, what his co-workers see is him standing by the wall and staring off into space looking dazed, relaxed, and decidedly creepy. Björn’s bizarre behavior eventually leads his co-workers to try and have him fired, but Björn will turn the tables on them with help from his secret room.

Debut author Jonas Karlsson doesn’t leave a word out of place in this brilliant, bizarre, delightful take on how far we will go—in a world ruled by conformity—to live an individual and examined life.

Commentaires

The Room is the most effective chapbook on workplace comportment since Glengarry Glen Ross. Hats off!" (Nick Offerman, author of Paddle Your Own Canoe)
"A gripping, tense, demonic fable in which the unease is precision-tooled and the turns of the screw wholly unexpected." (Neel Mukherjee, author of The Lives of Others)
"The daily grind got you down? Escape into this Swedish dark comedy about a scaldingly contemptuous office drone who discovers a secret room in his workplace." (O, the Oprah Magazine, "Ten Titles to Pick Up Now")
