The Intern's Handbook - Shane Kuhn
Ann Landers (or maybe it was Dear Abby – same difference) was fond of saying, “If life hands you lemons, make lemonade.” Shane Kuhn takes this advice to heart for The Intern’s Handbook. The particular lemon with which the screenwriter must deal for this, his first novel, is the lack of a plot – or more properly, the lack of a novel-length plot. The lemonade? Kuhn turns his extended short story into a comic farce by dressing it up as a combination employee handbook and memoir, which allows him to insert all the fun bits he’s thought up without needing to form a coherent narrative.
That lemonade thing? It works… kinda.
