CALLS MAY BE RECORDED | Kirkus Reviews An employee at a travel-agency call center scrapes together moments of hilarity and strange intimacy into a life he can stand, somewhat.

“Volckmer’s prose is electric, and as she skillfully unearths moments of tenderness, even ecstasy, amid the sweat and stench of abjection, she ensures this brief book lingers past its pages. A raucous, gutting workplace novel.” —Kirkus Reviews
