Synopsis "First Jobs: True Tales of Bad Bosses, Quirky Coworkers, Big Breaks, and Small Paychecks (Picador True Tales)"

In First Jobs, reporter Merritt Watts collects real stories of early forays into the workforce from a range of eras and industries, and a diversity of backgrounds. For some, a first job is a warm welcome to the working world. For others, it's a rude awakening, but as these stories show, it's an influential, entertaining experience that should not be underestimated. A future mayor shining shoes, an atheist shilling Bibles, a housewife heading to work during World War II, a now-famous designer getting fired--we all got our start somewhere. A first job may not have the romance of the first kiss or the excitement of a first car, but more than anything else, it offers a taste of true independence and a preview of what the world has in store for us. This book transforms what we might think of as a single, unassuming line at the bottom of a résumé into a collection of absorbing tales and hard-earned wisdom to which we can all, for better or worse, relate.

Nació en 1974 en Los Ángeles, California. Tras graduarse en el Smith College en 1995, se mudó a Nueva York para trabajar como publicista y en 2017 se convirtió en la directora de la célebre revista T, el suplemento de moda de The New York Times. En 2015 publicó Tan poca vida (Lumen, 2016), la novela con la que alcanzó el éxito internacional. Publicada en veinticinco países, fue nominada al Man Booker Prize y al National Book Award, elegida mejor novela del año por The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal, Vanity Fair, Vogue, The Guardian, The Economist, Newsweek, People, Time Out New York, Huffington Post, Publishers Weekly y Kirkus Reviews, entre otros medios, y ha conquistado a más de dos millones y medio de lectores. La gente en los árboles (Lumen, 2018) fue su primera novela, considerada una de las mejores de 2013 y la que distinguió a Yanagihara como una joven promesa en el mundo literario. Su última y esperada novela, Al paraíso, que también publicará Lumen, será un acontecimiento editorial internacional en 2022.
