Careering is a compelling and thoughtful read that every woman (and man) should have on their shelves.' Lucy Vine, author of Bad Choices'Full of brilliant characters, loveable chaos and a world of magazine nostalgia. If you've ever had a job suck your soul, even slightly, you'll love it.'

Maurice Henrie, plume vigoureuse, propose un recueil d’essais débridés qui revendiquent la liberté de penser, de s’exprimer et de critiquer.…
Un livre qui réclame, par sa forme, le droit de réfléchir, de se prononcer, d’aller où bon lui semble et où le guident ses pas et ses pensées. De la contemplation existentielle au coup de gueule cinglant, Maurice Henrie se dévoile comme jamais, vagabondant d’un sujet à l’autre au gré des idées qui lui viennent, scrutant, triturant jusqu’à plus soif des thèmes qui lui sont chers — la philosophie, la politique et l’histoire — en une vingtaine d’essais littéraires. L’auteur porte un jugement amusé, mais juste, sur la société américaine. Il s’impatiente devant les échecs du processus de décision gouvernemental. Il s'intéresse aux déplacements souvent désastreux de la population francophone en Amérique. Il s'attarde en particulier au drame de la déportation des Acadiens en 1755 et à l'émigration massive des Québécois vers les États-Unis durant la période de 1840 à 1930. Il rend un bel hommage aux mots, qui jouent dans la vie contemporaine un rôle changeant. Voici un tourbillon de textes… rédigés par un écrivain qui veut être entendu, qui veut léguer ses pensées en héritage, qui veut dompter la mort. Publié en français.By Daisy Buchanan. 2022

Louise O'Neill, author of Idol'As she did with sex in her first novel, Insatiable, now Daisy Buchanan holds up a mirror to the changing way we work in the raw and relatable Careering' Red'This thought-provoking, emotionally intelligent, hilarious, sexy and always sharp novel is a fabulous ride.'

Hilarious and unflinchingly honest, Careering takes a hard look at the often toxic relationship working women have with their dream jobs.*'The zeitgeisty read tackles the myth of the girl boss, with feelings of imposter syndrome, burnout and comparison rife throughout. Though entertaining - you can't help but cringe at some of the situations Imogen finds herself in - the novel takes a hard look at the very real challenges women still face in the workplace today. With the events of the last two years making many question what really matters in life, Buchanan leaves you with the reminder that whether you love or loathe your job, it doesn't define who you are or put a value on your self-worth.'
