Tom's Job ReviewTom Howell, a ski-bum in Aspen, falls in love at 25. Fifteen years later, he's a divorced father and editor at a conference in New York, where he is supposed to host an esoteric discussion on property and casualty insurance, which is doomed to fail.
The questions, then, that Tom Howell poses are these: Can a nice guy who thrived in the freedom of Aspen make it in a work-a-day world, where his crazy boss runs a marginal company? Can Tom, who is basically a passive loner, find meaning in his busy life, which really just sort of happened to him?
Interestingly, Ethan Cooper takes the story of this sad-sack and finds both poignancy and hilarity, as Tom Howell fights back in New York and retains his sanity. Of course, it helps that the malingering Tom shirks his conference responsibilities and visits Central Park and the Jazz Standard, as well as accommodates an inebriated booth-babe, who passes out in his hotel room. Cooper is also smart to develop the character of Jim Schuster, a life-of-the-party type who is the master of any craziness.
This is the third Ethan Cooper novel that I've read and this one is my favorite. The reason: In SMOOTH IN MEETINGS and IN CONTROL, Cooper focused on very linear goal-oriented businessmen who actually lived very narrow lives. In contrast, Cooper's characters in TOM'S JOB range from a billionaire investor to Tom, a likable schlemiel. This range of personalities creates a very rich brew, where knowledge of, and affinity for, corporate life, aren't really necessary to appreciate a completely involving narrative. It's a fast read, too.
There's a great scene near the end, by the way, when Tom contemplates the pebbled texture of the ceiling in his hotel room. Read it... you'll see what I mean.
