Summary

Radio Iris follows Iris Finch, a 20-something socially awkward daydreamer and receptionist at Larmax, Inc., a company whose true function she doesn't understand (though she's heard her boss refer to himself as "a businessman"). Gradually her boss' erratic behavior becomes even more erratic,;her coworkers begin disappearing; the phone stops ringing, making her role at Larmax moot; and a mysterious man appears to be living in the office suite next door. Radio Iris is an ambient, eerie dream of a novel, written with remarkable precision and grace that could also serve as an appropriate allegory for our modern recession.

Critic reviews

"A noirish nod to the monotony of work." ( O: The Oprah Magazine)
"[An] astute evocation of office weirdness and malaise." ( The Wall Street Journal)
" Radio Iris has a lovely, eerie, anxious quality to it. Iris's observations are funny, and the story has a dramatic otherworldly payoff that is unexpected and triumphant." (Deb Olin Unferth, The New York Times Book Review)
