|  | | Jobless Recovery
Computer programmer Dave Griffin thinks he has it made--until he loses his job to cheaper imported labor.
L.C. Evans’ new novel, Jobless Recovery, like all good satire, strips the newsworthy butt-naked, allowing us to see beyond the cellulite and into the guts of the matter. Exposing the consequences of the trend to eliminate American jobs, Evans shines a humorous spotlight on some very ugly wrinkles of corporate America. A morbidly ugly clown, grotesque to look at, but funny as hell.
