Consisting entirely of staff email, 'e' spends a fortnight in the company of Miller Shanks, an advertising agency that scales dizzying peaks of incompetence. Among the cast are a CEO with an MBA from the Joseph Stalin School of Management, a Creative Director who is a genius, if only in his own head, designers and copywriters driven by breasts, beer or Bach Flower Remedies, and secretaries who drip honey and spit blood.
The novel is a tapestry of insincerity, backstabbing and blatant bitchiness: that is to say, everyday office politics. Oh yes, and there is some work to be done too – the quest for advertising's Eldorado, the Coca-Cola account.
'e' is sometimes sleazy, sometimes scurrilous and always scabrously funny. It also contains a first-class joke about the Pope and sound advice on the maintenance of industrial carpet tiles.
