Descriere

nNATIONAL BESTSELLER - FINALIST FOR THE CENTER FOR FICTION'S FIRST NOVEL PRIZE - An intoxicating exploration of male-dominated workplaces . . . NSFW is gripping, with a lot to unpack, making it excellent book-club fodder.--TIME n nNamed an Amazon Best Book of 2022 for Literature and Fiction n nThe thing about Los Angeles is that it's awful and I hate it, but when I'm there, nowhere else exists, and I can't imagine leaving. It's a difficult place to be old or sick or fat or poor or without a strong social media presence. It's not an easy place to be young, either. n nSo begins Isabel Kaplan's electric and incisive debut novel about life at the bottom of the corporate ladder. n nShe's young, she's smart, she's set up for success. She has a covetable assistant job at a television network, a well-connected feminist mother who only wants the best for her, a prescription for appetite-suppressing injections, and a relentless work ethic. What could possibly go wrong? n nCompulsively readable and darkly comedic, NSFW explores the messiest parts of twenty-something life, from the indignities of entry level jobs to the elusive quest for self-acceptance. Excellent book-club fodder (Time), it's a novel you'll want to press into the hands of your coworkers and friends and one that marks the arrival of a major new literary voice.n
