内容简介 The television show The Office meets Bridget Jones in a novel set in an office so dysfunctional, it?s bound to strike a chord with any nine-to-fiver

A compulsively readable, hilarious novel told through the e-mail messages of Martin Lukes. Martin Lukes is a man who is good at taking credit where it isn?t due; a man who works hard at "personal growth" but consistently lets down everyone around him; a man who communicates with his sons by e-mail and fails to notice how smart his wife, Jenny, really is; a man -- in short -- who loves jargon but totally lacks understanding.
作者简介 Lucy Kellaway is a regular columnist at the Financial Times of London. She created the character Martin Lukes in that column, its most popular.
