“Greg Bardsley has a keen sense of the absurdity of everyday life, particularly Corporate America. But he gets the real things right, too, like all the messy stuff that makes us human. My advice: ditch your next meeting, find a coffee shop, and start reading. You won’t regret it.”
—Matthew Norman, author of We’re All Damaged and Domestic Violets
“Likably wry and dementedly screwball, The Bob Watson is a novel full of both sharp wit and genuine emotion.”
—Lou Berney, Edgar Award–winning author of The Long and Faraway Gone
“Fasten your seatbelt. The Bob Watson is a madcap race against time and conflicting priorities in California’s go-go Silicon Valley—a raucous parody of the valley’s twisted family and corporate values.”
—Al Riske, author of Precarious, Sabrina’s Window, and The Possibility of Snow
“Does the ever-modernizing, depersonalizing corporate world make you want to stop and yell time-out? Bardsley warns us to be careful what we wish for in a fresh satire that is spot-on and hilarious—at least for those of us standing on the sidelines.”
—Tim Dorsey, New York Times bestselling author of Florida Roadkill
“The Bob Watson is wonderfully inventive, decidedly absurd, and sidesplittingly funny. I pulled a ‘Bob Watson’—abandoning friends, family, and work—and raced through it in a day.”
—Mark Richardson, author of Hunt for the Troll
