Manhattan Sharks

Product Description The year is 1983. Beautiful progressive people lead fast-track lifestyles in Manhattan. Seeking happiness and status and meaning through jobs and fashion and political identity. But not Henry Willoughby. His is a world of petty coworkers and cheap office parties. Ex-hippie success gurus and millionaire cookie barons. Marxist revolutionaries and Ayn Rand cultists. Nightmarish job interviews and hellish subway rides. Henry belongs to the nameless and the faceless. The secretaries and clerks and losers leading lives of quiet desperation in a little gray cubicle in yuppie hell. In the tradition of Bonfire Of The Vanities, Clockwatchers, and Dilbert. Review A story of friendship, romance, and the search for the perfect résumé. Funny and entertaining. -- Carolina Review, December 2001 Brilliantly twisted humor. The most hilarious American novel I've read this year. Entertaining and insightful parody of modern American mores. -- The Houston Review, August 26, 2001 Satire of corporate life and personal greed in 1980s New York. An amusing work with clever period details and phrasing. -- American Outlook, Winter 2002 (a publication of the Hudson Institute) Well-written, fast-paced, and unapologetically caustic in its humor. Check it out--you'll be glad you did. -- Midwest Book Review, May 2002 About the Author Thomas M.
