Aprašymas

"I rarely find comic novels actually funny, so when I say The Weary Optimist is the funniest book I've read in years, it really means something-I mean truly LOL funny. I even read passages aloud to friends. 'Win-Win' Cheeseley is an unforgettable character who brings a whole new meaning to the term 'Human Resources.'"

Mark Nykanen, winner of four national Emmys for investigative journalism and author of Burn Down the Sky and Carry the Flame

If you take a line from the Bertie and Jeeves novels of P.G. Wodehouse, through Garrison Keillor's Lake Woebegone stories, and the television series The Office, you arrive at Dale Dauten's The Weary Optimist.

Join the misadventures of HR Director "Win-Win" Cheeseley as he deals with his company's CEO, Gerald "Genghis" Cone, and Cone's amorous daughter, Carlota, along with harassment complaints, police visits, executive kidnappers, and even Vladimir Putin.

Beneath the laughs you'll find a wry contemplation of business, capitalism, and modern life.
