Excerpts from “Rock Farm,” a scrapbook of corporate sabotage

Rock Farm is a novel in the form of a scrapbook.

Sheller takes a position in corporate communications at a fictional nondescript company in New York City, anxious to contribute her talents as a writer. But as she plumbs the depths of her boss’s incompetence and her colleagues’ cases of Stockholm Syndrome, she becomes increasingly disillusioned, and a strange friendship develops between herself and a rebellious coworker. As they goad each other into balder and funnier feats of onsite corporate sabotage, Sheller begins keeping a scrapbook that captures the insanity around them – including their own. By the end, all her coworker-friends have quit, and she is faced with a choice she never imagined she would have.
