Brimming with biting satire, original humour and warmth, this a sharp and hilarious workplace debut comedy set in New York. Jen, a happily married thirty-something and would-be artist, has been made redundant. Out of sheer financial desperation, she has taken a description-less job at a charitable foundation run by a wealthy (and largely absent) celebrity. Amid the absurd day-to-day operations of the foundation, Jen feels increasingly futile and anxious. Her belief in herself as an artist, her very sane and loving husband, her desire to (and despair that she hasn't yet) had a baby, and her bond with her two well-meaning best friends are all called into question. This is a hilarious and heartwarming story that combines a satirical contempt for aspects of modernity, with warmth and an enduring faith in humanity.
