Today's offering for this month's theme of short and shortish books is Working for Heat, a collection of three short stories set in the office. When the author asked me to review his book, he mentioned it was a satire. I'd like to say I knew exactly what he meant, but instead I had only a vague sense of the word. To ensure I knew how to treat this review, I dusted off my memories from high school English class and then did a few searches on Google just to be sure. In case you're a bit rusty like I was, satire is poking fun at a human folly through wit, irony or derision.
As for the title, the author explains it as working to no purpose.
