Careers in Geography
Careers in Geography maps out a year in the accidental life of an acerbic young wage-slave navigating unwanted promotions, nonsensical parental advice, her skittish love life and her repulsively-hip corner of Los Angeles, ultimately discovering that the hardest job is knowing where you belong.
I enjoy the juxtaposition of mapping a life and the experience of its accidental reality. The narration avoids navel-gazing to reach the wider experience of a post-collegiate generation looking for an experience of meaning. I also enjoy brief recounting of the narrator's conversation with her father. I look forward to hearing the next chapter.
