Review:
"What looks at first glancelike a sweet-tempered satire of workplace culture is revealed upon closerinspection to be a very serious novel about, well, America. It may even be, inits own modest way, a great American novel." --Los Angeles Times

"A masterwork of pitch and tone. . . . Ferris brilliantly captures the fishbowl quality of contemporary office life."--The New Yorker
"Not too many authors have written the Great American Office Novel. Joseph Heller did it in Something Happened (the one book of his to rival Catch-22). And Nicholson Baker pulled it off in zanily fastidious fashion in The Mezzanine. To their ranks should be added Joshua Ferris, whose THEN WE CAME TO THE END feels like a readymade classic of the genre. . . . A truly affecting novel about work, trust, love, and loneliness."--Michael Upchurch, Seattle Times
