Temporary Stories

A triptych chronicling the unexpectedly epic adventures of an ordinary office temp. "Temporary Stories" appears in Daniel Orozco's critically acclaimed collection Orientation , which leads the reader through the hidden lives and moral philosophies of bridge painters, men housebound by obesity, office temps, and warehouse workers. He reveals the secret pleasures of late-night supermarket trips for cookie binges, exceptional data entry, and an exiled dictator's occasional piss on the U.S. embassy.
