Andshould you ask that tricky question about his daughter’s illness?<br /><br /><em>The Art of Asking Your Boss for a Raise</em> is a hilarious account of an employeelosing his identity––and possibly his sanity––as he tries to put on themost acceptable face for the corporate world, with its rigid hierarchies andhostility to ideas and innovation. If he follows a certain course of action, sothis logic goes, he will succeed––but, in accepting these conditions, are hisattempts to challenge his world of work doomed from the outset?<br /><br />Neurotic and pessimistic, yet endearing, comic and never less thanentertaining, Perec’s Woody Allen-esque underling presents an acute andpenetrating vision of the world of office work, as pertinent today as it waswhen it was written in 1968.
