A wry work of spectacular wit, Discontent skewers every novel of workplace ennui that has come before it. Beatriz Serrano writes with a caustic flair for detail, exploring the small humiliations of the everyday corporate office with charm and utter hilarity. Absolutely brilliant -- Danya Kukafka, author of NOTES ON AN EXECUTION Our heroine compulsively watches YouTube, pops Ativan, quotes both Britney Spears and Proust, dreads work small talk, and, at one point, Googles 'how to be creative.' I adored her. Discontent is a razor-sharp debut with a riveting climax -- Anna Dorn, author of PERFUME & PAIN This intelligent, engaging novel perfectly captures the discontent of our contemporary minds, managing all the while to be totally hilarious -- Aysegül Savas, author of THE ANTHROPOLOGISTS
