Detailed item info
Synopsis
For Charlie Baker, the middle-aged head of a Chicago advertising firm, work has always been his life, the thing he draws meaning from even more than his picture-perfect nuclear family. So when his company suddenly axes him, Baker is at a loss, and continues to tell his wife and kids that he's going to work instead of facing the limbo of his new life. THE PURSUIT OF OTHER INTERESTS explores the powerful sense of identity we gain from our job, and provides a nuanced, tragic, and often hilarious exploration of a man flailing about for a sense of purpose outside of the office.

Length:352 pages

Publisher's Note
Cast adrift after being abruptly fired, workaholic CEO Charlie Baker is astonished to find his finances in shambles and his son rapidly growing up, a situation he initially denies while spending his days in an outplacement firm. 40,000 first printing.
