Description
Sean Taro Nishi’s debut short story collection, Get Motivated!, explores suburban consumer culture gone haywire. Amidst a techno-fueled backdrop of burnt-out towns and overly personal workplaces, shady characters are endlessly and hilariously corrupted by the impossible circumstances of working life and the absurdity of bureaucracy. Alluring and alarming, this collection is a witty warning sign of a future that may await us.
This collection includes the following short stories:
- Get Motivated!
- E/Z Love
- Corgi
- Ray’s Refrigeration
- Rent-A-Body
- Burnville
- SquishMe®
- The Remarkable Vandergraffs
- Regarding Your Time-Off Request
