Book Description
Maybe someone in your family bought you this book to read, and you thought, “Yeah, sure, why not? They’re short stories, so it shouldn’t take me too long to read; and there isn’t really continuity, so I don’t have to worry about putting it down for a while if I get busy.” You were maybe a little worried because the book did seem sort of long, but you were into it. You turned it over to read the back, and this was what you encounter. Some second-person narration that seemed like a complete rip-off of Italo Calvino’s If on a Winter’s Night a Traveler—but, you liked that book. What’s this book about (“Yes, finally,” you say)? It’s about different things. One story is about a pop culture–loving android named Biff, while yet another involves a genderless narrator and a baseball bat. If you’re looking for themes, some keywords are mortality, loss, pop culture, originality, cynicism, fantasy, and of course, work. Does that draw you in enough to crack open the book now, or will you wait and, in true Calvino fashion, get comfortable before reading? If you’ve read this far, you’ll probably like this book. But maybe you think it’s obtuse. Read the book and find out.

Common Careers, Different Experiences
Author: Katharine Venter
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 260
Book Description
While there is extensive data on the experiences of women working in managerial positions in Britain, there is a dearth of such information in Hong Kong. Consequently much of our understanding and beliefs about these women's lives are based on issues that concern women in the West, such as subordination and the struggle for equal rights. There is also a widespread belief that women have made more progress in improving their position in Britain than Hong Kong. Using interviews, surveys and existing documentation, this book illustrates that these perceptions do not adequately explain the situation of women managers in Hong Kong. On the contrary, research shows that Hong Kong women managers enjoy a relatively smooth career path while those in Britain often experience downward occupational mobility and breaks in their careers. Through comparing the stories of women managers in Hong Kong and Britain and exploring how culture shapes their tales, Common Careers, Different Experiences urges us to revise our perceptions of women's experiences.
