The acclaimed author of Sparrow follows a former academic down the rabbit hole of temp work in a “hilarious supernatural sendup of office life” (Publishers Weekly).

Paul Trilby is having a bad day. If he were to be honest with himself, Paul Trilby would have to admit that he’s having a bad life. His wife left him. Three subsequent girlfriends left him. He’s fallen from a top-notch university teaching job, to a textbook publisher, to, eventually, working as a temp writer for the General Services department of the Texas Department of General Services.

Even in this world of carpeted partitions and cheap lighting fixtures, Paul cannot escape the curse his life has become. For it is not until he reaches out to the office’s foul-mouthed mail girl that he begins to notice things are truly wrong. There are sounds coming from the air conditioning vents, bulges in the ceiling, a disappearing body. There are the strange men lurking about town, wearing thick glasses and pocket protectors.

The Kings of Infinite Space is a hilarious and macabre spoof on our everyday lives, and gives true voice to the old adage, “Work is Hell.”
