Companion to Work Won't Love You Back

No rating

This book pairs nicely with Jaffe's Work Won't Love You Back. The characters are all trying to figure out where work fits into their lives and how to pursue the things they actually want to do. A librarian delivers koans in the form of felted animals and mysterious book recommendations.
