Molly Mcghee reminds me of absolutely no one.
With a keen sense of her readers, a wry wit, and an undeniable dexterity with language, Molly McGhee\'s debut novel is a piercing critique of late-stage capitalism and a reckoning with its true cost..
A workplace novel, at once tender, startling, and deeply funny, Jonathan Abernathy You Are Kind is a stunning, critical work of surrealist fiction.
Written with all the dramatic irony of Charlie Kaufman as written by Kurt Vonnegut, Jonathan Abernathy You Are Kind touches on a theme most people know all too well--the relentlessly crushing weight of debt.
Soon, the lines between life and work, love and hate, right and wrong, even sleep and consciousness, begin to blur.
As Abernathy finds his footing in this new role, reality and morality begin to warp around him.
If he can appear to be competent at his new job, entering the minds of middle-class workers while they sleep and removing the unsavory detritus of their waking lives from their unconscious, he might have a chance at a new life.
But when a government loan forgiveness program offers him a literal dream job, he thinks he\'s found his big break. he\'s behind on his debts, he has no prospects, no friends, no ambitions. . .
