The Long and Short of It: A Novel
Lonely Kurt is stuck in a pointless job at a business no one can explain—until a cryptic letter slips from a used paperback, sparking a reckless obsession to deliver it. Armed with a single clue, he bumbles into a web of confusion, dragging his idle coworkers with him. As the quest spirals into absurdity, readers will begin to wonder if this book’s author is just clumsily or maliciously wasting their time.
