| Harold Michael McCreedy is poised to prove to the world, his family, and, most of all, to himself that he is somebody of worth, capable of making a difference in the world. Harry came from a family with a long history of distinguished achievement in business, science, and the priesthood both in England and America. Harry, however, was seen as a weakling with insufficient drive or ability to achieve anything beyond a mediocre existence, as a teacher perhaps.
But now at age 21, with a business degree behind him, he’s about to begin a new job with Port Author, a shoe store in downtown Washington, DC. It doesn’t take Harry long to discover that, behind the façade shown to customers, Port Author is a hotbed of anger, racial tension, and barely restrained violence. Sally, the manager, is, to put it bluntly, a bitch who appears to have nothing better to do in life than to make every one around her as miserable as possible. This has a very detrimental effect on all the workers. Harry proves himself to be a very competent assistant sales manager. He even manages to make things a little bit better for the employees by redesigning a computer program for reporting sales figures. His personal life also progresses in a satisfactory manner. He finds himself a wonderful wife and manages to free his mother from a mental hospital where she has been imprisoned for many years. In the workplace, he sets in place a plan to get rid of Sally, whom he sees as the root of everyone’s problems. However, anger begets anger, hatred begets hatred, and violence only begets more violence. Harry’s plan leads to unforeseen consequences. This is not a pretty book. But it does have a firm grip on the reality of racial tension and potential violence in the 21st century workplace. If you want to see things as they really are, this is the book for you. | |||
