The Art Of Work : An Anthology of Workplace Literature

Rating:
Summary: Literary Labor
Review: Simply, this is an interesting collection of literary pieces about work (I don't know much about work as an Art however).

Short Stories by Italo Calvino, Garcia Marquez, Chekov, and James Thurber, and others.

Personal Memoirs by Maya Angelou, George Orwell, Russell Baker, and others.

Analysis of process and job descriptions by Tracy Kidder, Richard Selzer and Studs Terkel.

Poetry by Theodore Roethke, Countee Cullen, William Jay Smith, Maya Angelou, and David Waggoner among others.

And a Play by William Styron.

As you can see, this is a varied and interesting collection on a subject that pervades our lives but that we don't like to really confront.
