Orientation: A Story

Orientation introduces a writer at the height of his powers, whose work surely invites us to reassess the landscape of American fiction. A new employee's first-day office tour includes descriptions of other workers' most private thoughts and actions. "Orientation" is a story from Daniel Orozco's critically acclaimed collection of the same name, which leads the reader through the hidden lives and moral philosophies of bridge painters, men housebound by obesity, office temps, and warehouse workers
