I have a twisted sense of humor and so does Shane Kuhn, the author of this darkly funny novel of office work and assassination—something like what you might get if Joshua Ferris and Josh Bazell ever collaborated. It’s full of misdirection, red herrings, and characters so layered with secret identities and hidden agendas that even they may not know the truth. If you learn nothing else from this exciting, exhilarating debut, take this lesson to heart: If the intern offers to make you coffee, just say “No, thank you.”
