Hes a hiring partner at one of the worlds largest law firms. Brilliant yet ruthless, he has little patience for associates who leave the office before midnight or steal candy from the bowl on his secretarys desk. He hates holidays and paralegals. And hes just started a weblog to tell the world about what life is really like at the top of his profession. Meet Anonymous Lawyer -- corner office, granite desk, and a billable rate of $675 an hour. The summer is about to start, and hes got a new crop of law school interns who will soon sign away their lives for a six-figure salary at the firm. But hes also got a few problems that require his attention. Theres The Jerk, his bitter rival at the firm, who is determined to do whatever it takes to beat him out for the chairmans job. Theres Anonymous Wife, who is spending his money as fast as he can make it. And theres that secret blog hes writing, which is a perverse bit of fun until he gets an e-mail from someone inside the firm who knows hes its author. Written in the form of a blog, Anonymous Lawyer is a spectacularly entertaining debut that rips away the bland faade of corporate law and offers a telling glimpse inside a frightening world. Hilarious and fiendishly clever, Jeremy Blachmans tale of a lawyer who lives a lie and posts the truth is sure to be one of the years most talked-about novels.
