The receptionist : an education at the New Yorker / by Groth, Janet,1936-(CARDINAL)772885;
Introduction, or, Jack spills the beans -- Homage to Mr. Berryman -- On writing, not writing, and lunching with Joe -- Remembering Muriel -- Rough passage through the New Yorker Art Department -- Party girl -- Back on reception -- Fritz -- Intermezzo -- Fritz, the denouement -- A world awry -- A new roommate -- Greece : the journey out -- Greece : the journey in -- Changing -- A Renaissance man -- Mr. Right at last -- What the receptionist received.Thanks to a successful interview with a painfully shy E. B. White, a beautiful nineteen-year-old hazel-eyed Midwesterner landed a job as receptionist at The New Yorker. There she stayed for two decades, becoming the general office factotum—watching and registering the comings and goings, marriages and divorces, scandalous affairs, failures, triumphs, and tragedies of the eccentric inhabitants of the eighteenth floor. In addition to taking their messages, Groth watered their plants, walked their dogs, boarded their cats, and sat their children (and houses) when they traveled. And although she dreamed of becoming a writer herself, she never advanced at the magazine.

Winter in Sokcho / by Dusapin, Élisa Shua,1992-author.; Higgins, Aneesa Abbas,translator.;
It's winter in Sokcho, a tourist town on the border between South and North Korea. The cold slows everything down. Bodies are red and raw, the fish turn venomous, beyond the beach guns point out from the North's watchtowers. A young French Korean woman works as a receptionist in a tired guesthouse. One evening, an unexpected guest arrives: a French cartoonist determined to find inspiration in this desolate landscape. The two form an uneasy relationship. When she agrees to accompany him on trips to discover an "authentic" Korea, they visit snowy mountaintops and dramatic waterfalls, and cross into North Korea. But he takes no interest in the Sokcho she knows--the gaudy neon lights, the scars of war, the fish market where her mother works. As she's pulled into his vision and taken in by his drawings, she strikes upon a way to finally be seen.Winner of National Book Award for Translated Literature, 2021.
