Got Time to Read This Post?

March 5, 2007

Today, we will look at "The Time Seller: A Business Satire" by Fernando Trias de Bes who is a big shot marketing consultant for Microsoft, Sony, HP and other name drop worthy brands. Despite his credentials, "The Time Seller" is not a marketing text book but is part of a genre called Business Fiction which sounds like the antithesis and the end of ChickLit which I hope is true . Like you, my interest was definitely captured and I started chomping away at book.

This satire is about a character named Average Guy who lives in Unnamed Settled Area and decides to quit his job to sell five minutes of time in urine vials. I am admittedly in the thick of it but the rest of story dwells on what happens when everyone can afford five minutes of time for $2.00 or 100 pesos. It really gets wacky but I don't want to spoil the punchline. All I can say is that the humor is tongue-in-cheek for anyone who has worked in the corporate cubicle or at least studied about it. Fernando's comedic-business sense is really dead on because of his business credentials. It seems that his experience has allowed him to laugh at himself a little. If you like the Dilbert comic strip, you will fall in love with this too. Like all satires, The Time Seller has moral gem in it but I have no time to tell you know. Click below for more information. ciao!
