Dark, twisted, and outrageous, 29 Jobs and a Million Lies is a glimpse at counterculture's underbelly and attempts to succeed within that world. From demented B-movie, roach-infested film production offices chock full of freakish characters to the Cannes Film Festival; from starting a punk rock record label to its hard but inevitable crash; from a grimy, Greenwich Village restaurant kitchen to failed attempts at joining the Navy, you gotta ask, What's a nice girl from the suburbs doing all of this dirty work for.29 Jobs and a Million Lies is the gut-wrenching, self-deprecating account of how ambition to stand out was wiped out by clumsy choices, immaturity and self-defeating righteousness. 29 Jobs is a post-GenX novel, except it's true, and in the vein of Sarah Vowell, Chuck Klosterman, and Dave Eggers.Jenn Topper is just over the moon that she's released 29 Jobs and a Million Lies. Her first novel, Getting the Old Gang Back Together will be out soon so please stay tuned.
