Described as "the most well-executed literary sex comedy" of our time by Salon.com, and "a wickedly smart satire that deserves to be a classic" by Bookforum, Helen DeWitt's Lighting Rods is a novel that will leave you laughing for more. Follow one steady rise to power in corporate America as down-and-out salesman Joe curtails sexual harassment in the office and increases productivity with his mysterious, mind-blowing invention.

Industry Reviews

"A tightly disciplined and extremely funny satire on office politics, sexual politics, American politics, and the art of positive thinking." -- The Guardian "A razor-sharp comic masterpiece." -- Financial Times "Dewitt maintains a strong, clear, narrative voice throughout, pitch-perfectly parodying management speak, corporate culture and self-help bibles." -- The Independent "An absurdist comedy of the American workplace and the indignities faced by employees in today's turbo-capitalism, a quietly seething feminist critique of pornography and the commodification of women, and a category-defying fable about the meaninglessness of success." -- Telegraph
