β¦ Synopsis
Robert Harbert, better known as Harb, is Executive Vice President in Charge of Total Quality. CaroleAnne Winter is the assistant who runs his life. But even Harb can't ignore that CaroleAnne's behavior is increasingly peculiar. At the same time, the vagaries of corporate power shift, and suddenly, both Harb and his Total Quality mandate are vulnerable. It's at this moment that CaroleAnne levels a stunning charge: that she has been the target of an organized campaign of sexual harassment from her first days at the company. The investigation she demands will reach to the highest levels of the corporation-and at its center, she insists, must be the greatest offender of all: Harb. Stanley Bing's books include Throwing the Elephant, What Would Machiavelli Do?, and The Big Bing, as well as the novel Lloyd: What Happened, which is currently being developed for HBO. A columnist for Fortune, he also works for a huge multinational corporation whose identity is one of the worst-kept secrets in business. "What a wonderful novel to argue about and chuckle over. If there are any truly integrated book clubs in America-not just by race, but by gender and class-here's a title for discussion that will delay dessert."-Christian Science Monitor "Roundly entertaining and surprisingly touching... You Look Nice Today is a comic novel with a tragic heart, and for a portrait of corporate life, you'd have to go back to Sloan Wilson's The Man in the Grey Flannel Suit to find its equal ... a cockeyed love letter to the executive suite." -Time Succeeds marvelously in its seasoned appreciation of the many pleasures-and perils-of executive life. -Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
