Reviews
"A tightly disciplined and extremely funny satire on office politics, sexual politics, American politics, and the art of positive thinking." — The Guardian
"A razor-sharp comic masterpiece." — Financial Times
"Dewitt maintains a strong, clear, narrative voice throughout, pitch-perfectly parodying management speak, corporate culture and self-help bibles." — The Independent
"An absurdist comedy of the American workplace and the indignities faced by employees in today's turbo-capitalism, a quietly seething feminist critique of pornography and the commodification of women, and a category-defying fable about the meaninglessness of success." — Telegraph
"Did DeWitt really go there? Oh yes, she did. " — Jennifer Szalai, The New York Times
