James Hynes
James Hynes is the author of three New York Times Notable Books of the Year. That same publication praises Kings of Infinite Space as “unspeakably funny!” This offbeat novel satirizes an experience ubiquitous to modern times—office life. With a defeated sigh, ex-college professor Paul Trilby faces the downward spiral that is his existence. After his wife and three subsequent girlfriends dump him, and he loses just as many jobs, he’s sure he’s a pawn in some vast conspiracy. Worse still, he may be losing the only thing he has left—his mind.

What did you love best about Kings of Infinite Space?
The description of the daily grind of the office was great, the petty rivalries, different personality types, ridiculous policies, and so on.What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)
The last part of the book was my least favorite as it is no longer satire but just wild . That part was too long.Which character – as performed by Adam Grupper – was your favorite?
I liked Callie who is feisty and independent and is willing to try anything.Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
The office satires made me laugh because they were so close to the truth.Office Space Meets Shaun of the Dead

No. I am half way through this book and very little has happened. Also, I am tiring of the 'tin can" quality of the sound.What could James Hynes have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?
Tighten it up. I feel there is far too much description and not enough plot.How could the performance have been better?

Any additional comments?
The blurb calls this book oddball. I think it is actually an allegory and also a bit of a morality tale, warning us to be careful what we wish for.Yes, it is a struggle to be human

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
I would recommend this audiobook to anyone who works in an office/at a cubicle and is interested in dark fiction. It is difficult to empathize with the hero (anti-hero) of the story, but the scenario is relatable despite the supernatural overtones. The narrator - Adam Grupper - does a fantastic job bringing the characters to life.Would you be willing to try another book from James Hynes? Why or why not?
I probably wouldn't read another James Hynes book, but that does not mean I regret taking a chance on Kings of Infinite Space. The book lies outside of my usual reading zone, but I enjoyed listening to the development of the main characters.An odd story but an interesting read
