About this listen
"All I want is to be a success.That's all I ask." Joe fails to sell a single set of the Encyclopedia Britannica in six months. Then he fails to sell a single Electrolux and must eat hundreds of pieces of homemade pie, served up by his would-be customers who feel so sorry for him. Holed up in his trailer, Joe finds an outlet his for frustrations in a series of ingenious sexual fantasies, and at last strikes gold. His brain storm, Lightning Rods, Inc., will take Joe to the very top - and to the very heart of corporate insanity - with an outrageous solution to the spectre of sexual harassment in the modern office.

An aptly named writer
Very funny and thought-provoking. I thought Dushko’s reading style was perfect for this novel. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

a wonderfully transgressive satire
not for the easily offended or those of a prudish nature. I found myself regularly laughing out loud at the author's relentless logic.
