...hero Johnny is a frustrated young cube dweller, disillusioned with his fledgling accounting career. "He did what everyone said he was supposed to do," writes Pink. "He's begun to suspect that everyone was wrong." Enter Diana, a comely sprite who doles out zenlike job advice ("Think strengths, not weaknesses. Persistence trumps talent. Make excellent mistakes") along with manga magic in this witty Japanese-style graphic novel. She convinces Johnny that following his true creative passion is the secret to workplace success. Luckily for readers, Pink, a best-selling author who studied manga in Tokyo, and his talented illustrator...

Furthermore, Gardner’s son—five in the film—was only a toddler when he was chasing the office job:no existential...

At first approach it's all bunkerish midnight-blue steel, a cube-and-canister form answering to the legacy of the old mills and silos that once occupied - some still do - the industrial stretch of the Mississippi River where it stands. A lengthy, covered bridge-to-nowhere cantilevers out from one side of the building like a robot arm toward the river, ending in ledges of tiered seating for taking in the view...
