For our October title for The Nod Book Club, we picked a novel that’s a telling reflection of the times we live in and our out-of-control consumerist culture aka Help Wanted by Adelle Waldman. This workplace novel revolves around a group of employees who decide that the best way to get their obnoxious boss out of their lives is to get her...promoted. It is also about the little ambitions and allyships we develop in the place we spend a third of our day. Think The Office, but with more reality and greater empathy.
We’re also excited to announce that the author, Adelle Waldman, will soon be in conversation with fellow curious reader and actress Namita Dubey. From workplace drama to questionable bosses, they’ll be diving deep into what makes this book so relatable and timely. Stay tuned and join our Instagram channel to read along!
