"A collection of bitterly hilarious job application letters."
Applying for a job is stupid. It is a demeaning, humiliating exercise in learning to grovel in front of faceless strangers. Everyone who has ever sent a job application letter has felt the urge, the temptation to say what they really think. To say something completely insane, or to be brutally honest. With 2007 s "Overqualified," Joey Comeau acted on those urges and delivered a book collecting his cover letters. It s sad and fragmented and, in places, funny, the "L.A. Times" said. But even after the dozens of insane, hilarious, and sometimes strangely sad job application letters, he still didn t get the job. So he s at it again. A person needs to work, you know? But he s had to step things up a bit. Were the letters not insane enough? Was he not sad or stupid enough? Did he not threaten to bite as many CEOs as he should have? There s only one way to find out: "OVERQUALIFIEDER.""
