The anonymous, middle-aged narrator is a man broken on the wheel of office life—the beige wheel of grinding routine, the uniform gray carpets, the endless buff envelopes. He takes us on a terrifyingly familiar tour of office life that is at once hilarious and profound. One man's unravelling philosophical crisis amid the retirement parties and sandwiches becomes a metaphysical search for order and purpose deep in the back of a desk drawer.
