Novel set in "the world of the great American office, the world of boss and of clerk." It's a one-character-at-a-time portrait of a large business, "a series of brilliant characterization, by means of deft portrayer, interior monologue, witty comment, and a bantering affection that suddenly provokes our laughter and as suddenly turns our laughter to sorrow."

(The dust jacket illustration -- indeed, perhaps the whole book itself -- suggests that King Vidor's great 1929 film THE CROWD may have been a source of inspiration.).
