Articoli correlati a The Job
Ned Allen is a brilliant salesman. He knows it's true because everyone says it is. But working as an ad-salesman for a computer magazine - albeit a rising one - isn't exactly glamorous and it's also incredibly high-pressured. So when - in the nineties parlance of management bullshit - Ned is 'downsized', he has to turn to new, rather more morally dubious practices in order to maintain his lifestyle.
Douglas Kennedy's new novel will send a shiver down the spine of anyone who has ever thought they enjoyed the comforts of so-called 'job-security' and it's as thought provoking and thrilling as THE BIG PICTURE.

Recensione:
What begins as an everyday tale of takeover, downsizing and outplacement in the ruthless Manhattan business world rapidly mutates for our ad sales hero Ned Allen into something altogether sinister and cut-throat. Slickly plotted, with dialogue crisper than a fresh pretzel, and cynically observant of modern mores. THE JOB rattles towards its concluison like a runaway train. Like a good salesman, Kennedy really knows how to close. (ESQUIRE)
A furiously paced, compulsive thrille... there are affinities with John Grisham's THE FIRM, but a greater compliment is that THE JOB also reminds me of GLNGARRY GLEN ROSS, David Mamet's hymn to the salesman. (THE TIMES)
Kennedy has again employed his Big Apple chutzpah, a lot of careful reseach and above all, his ability to tell a story that hardly ever slots down from express train speed to construct another highly entertaining page turner. (IRISH TIMES)
Excellent... one of the best reads of the year. (Frances Fyfield)
