Related in a series of e-mails . . . new book

Welcome to the Working Week by Paul Vlitos

Related in a series of e-mails, this novel tells the story of Martin Sargent, a 20-something office worker with a disastrous personal life, and his small gang of friends as they begin to settle down with one another, or not.

Stripped of any description, it ought to be pure plot, but the atmosphere is familiar and each character becomes a sort of platonic ideal: an office worker in a creased suit; a playwright with a nascent beard; a self-obsessed blogger; a mentally underpowered DJ who can pull the girls but then doesn't know what to say to them afterwards.

There are a few loose ends and a baffling running gag about a pint of milk, but Paul Vlitos is a witty writer and this, his first novel, is curiously gripping.
