From the bestselling author of Almond, The Devil Wears Prada meets The Office in this witty, humane, and ultimately transformative story of a group of young workers who rebel against the status quo, now available in a convenient pocket-sized portable Nomad Edition.Jihye is an ordinary woman who has never been extraordinary. In her administrative job at the Academy, she silently tolerates office politics and the absurdities of Korean bureaucracy. Forever only one misplaced email away from career catastrophe, she effectively becomes a master of the silent eye-roll and the tactical coffee run. But all her efforts to endure her superiors and the semi-hostile work environment they create are upended when a new intern, Gyuok Lee, arrives.Like a pacifist version of V in V for Vendetta, Gyuok recruits a trio of office allies to carry out plans for minor revenge. Together, these four “rebels” commit tiny protests against those in more powerful positions through spraying graffiti, throwing eggs, and writing anonymous exposés. But as their attacks increase, the initial joy they felt at the release becomes something more and Jihye and the others will discover the beauty of friendship and the extraordinary power of unity against adversity.

Especificaciones del producto
Escrito por Won-Pyung Sohn
Won-pyung Sohn nació en 1979 en Corea del Sur y ha desarrollado una trayectoria profesional como escritora de novelas y como directora de cine. Sus premisas suelen ser sorprendentes, a medio camino entre la fantasía y la realidad, pero con su primer libro, Almendra, se ciñó a una enfermedad real y logró su mayor éxito literario hasta la fecha. El impulso, una historia sobre las segundas oportunidades, es su novela más reciente.
