"100 Words Per Minute:
Tales From Behind Law Office Doors is a collection of ultra-brief,
wry,
witty, sometimes nasty, always insightful short stories by veteran law
office worker Adina Sara. From backbiting coworkers to clueless bosses
to litigators of all flavors from megalomaniacal to nearly-dead from
exhaustion, 100 Words Per Minute offers a wry glimpse into
trials and
tribulations, and what working within America's legal system is really
like. 100 Words Per Minute is a singularly delectable collection,
whether the stories are savored a few at a time or all at once." MIDWEST
BOOK REVIEW

not alone in their isolation."

"What
"The Nanny Diaries" did for babysitters this book does for clerical
workers. Cutting chillingly to the bone...the combination of prose and
poetry perfectly captures the spirit of a person trapped in a cubicle."
Amazon Review
"An
extraordinary work indeed. A rare look inside the human heart of
unrecognized labor, made visible by Sara's forceful strokes of
language." Joseph Matthews,
Author, The Lawyer Who Blew Up His Desk (Ten Speed Press, 1998)
"Page
after page, her humor and insights resonated with my twenty-five plus
years in the legal secretary trenches. There's plenty here for anyone
who's ever found themselves behind a desk, wondering how they got
there." Lisa Simpson,
Litigation Secretary
"It's
as though there had been a translucent veil that kept me from truly
seeing those who worked for me. After reading this book, the veil has
lifted." Richard Duane,
Attorney at Law
