The Anxiety of Everyday Objects

The Anxiety of Everyday Objects earns a 3. This book can best be summed up using one of its own sentences: "Once upon a time there was a blind girl, and then she was gone." The main protaganist, Winona, is a 20-something year old secretary at a law firm who wishes to become a filmmaker. Her world changes when a mysteriously seductive blind female attorney named Sandy is hired at her firm. When the author has Winona secretly video taping Sandy in an almost obsession-based manner, it was a little uncomfortable for this reader - who wants to be filmed without giving consent? With some office politics, sex, and betrayal thrown in, this book has enough to keep most readers of this genre entertained.
