English Summary/英文概要： An unforgettable first novel, an author to shout about, a campaign to ensure that everyone knows this is the funniest, sharpest read of the year. Consisting entirely of staff emails, e spends a fortnight in the company of Miller Shanks, an advertising agency that scales dizzying peaks of incompetence. Among the cast are a CEO with an MBA from the Joseph Stalin School of Management, a Creative Director who is a genius, if only in his own head, designers and copywriters driven by breasts, beer or Bach Flower Remedies, and secretaries who drip honey and spit blood. The novel is a tapestry of insincerity, backstabbing and bare-arsed bitchiness: that is to say, everyday office politics. Oh yes, and there is some work to be done too -- the quest for advertising’s Eldorado, the Coca-Cola account. e is sleazy, scurrilous and scabrously funny. It also contains a first-class joke about the Pope and sound advice on the maintenance of industrial carpet tiles.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 一部整本由電子郵件構成的小說，一場只生在一個月內的廣告爭奪戰，Miller Shanks突然接到了可樂公司的廣告比稿，公司執行長大衛自然下令創意總監、客服總監等精英與創意部的同事全力以赴攜手合作。
儘管高手雲集，天才創意案卻並那麼容易產生，更何況其中有你無法想像的辦公室政治……廣告公司素來盛產最有型格的高級白領，而本小說更是雲集了此中的代表人物，從迷信瑜伽的創意天才、沉迷煙酒的美術設計、有斷袖之癖的創意總監、奉上欺下的秘書到真正運帷幄的管理人才，都在這場辦公室內的爭奪角力戰中粉墨登場，而辦公室生存法則更是在這些人物互相牽連的故事中逐一顯現。(VL)
