"Radio Iris has a lovely, eerie, anxious quality to it. Iris's observations are funny, and the story has a dramatic otherworldly payoff that is unexpected and triumphant."
â??Deb Olin Unferth, The New York Times Book Review
"A noirish nod to the monotony of work."
â??O: The Oprah Magazine
"Kinney is a Southern California Camus."
â??Los Angeles Magazine
"'The Office' as scripted by Kafka."
â??Minneapolis Star-Tribune
"[An] astute evocation of office weirdness and malaise."
â??The Wall Street Journal

Radio Iris follows Iris Finch, a twentysomething socially awkward daydreamer and receptionist at Larmax, Inc., a company whose true function she doesn't understand (though she's heard her boss refer to himself as â??a businessman").

Gradually, her boss' erratic behavior becomes even more erratic, her coworkers begin disappearing, the phone stops ringing, making her role at Larmax moot, and a mysterious man appears to be living in the office suite next door.

Radio Iris is an ambient, eerie dream of a novel, written with remarkable precision and grace that could also serve as an appropriate allegory for our modern recession.

Anne-Marie Kinney's short fiction has appeared or is forthcoming in Indiana Review, Black Clock, Keyhole, and Satellite Fiction.

Haunting and quite lovely. ( )
1 vota savoirfaire | Apr 6, 2013 |
This book is reminiscent of The Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake by Aimee Bender but not nearly as good. Iris and her brother Neil are both alienated from life. Neil is too intense, Iris's heartbeat could barely register on a stethoscope. Iris wants to relate to Neil, Neil wants - what? Only to fly, I guess. In Lemon Cake the main character had taste as her only significant sense, Iris has hearing, particularly music, specifically - for a woman in her mid twenties - a love of Oldies. She loves dogs and dreams about her childhood pet nightly, but doesn't have a dog now - luckily for the canine species because Iris is so barely present in life that she could never remember for more than an hour or two to take care of another living creature. I think Anne-Marie Kinney worked hard on this little book. She must have a cadre of people who think she is talented, T. C. Boyle is her mentor; but her writing barely kept me awake. Yes there's an interesting surrealistic twist at the end, but by the time I got there, I just wanted the whole thing over. ( )
