Zakiya Dalila Harris's "The Other Black Girl" Reinvents the Office Novel: A Review


Harris Atria Books, 368 pp., $27.00
Despite the proliferation of novels about the office, about working life, and about how much of ourselves we give to our jobs, only a handful of these texts have engaged substantially with the experiences of people who aren’t white. In Ling Ma’s lucid, post­apocalyptic debut,
Severance, there is Candace Chen, who keeps showing up to work even as the world is ravaged by a catastrophic unknown virus and her colleagues die off. In Mateo Askaripour’s satirical novel
Black Buck, there’s Darren Vender, a Black barista who undergoes a radical transformation when he lands at job at a start-up. Both of these novels as well as the comically lascivious early scenes from Raven Leilani’s recent novel, ....

I read Ling Ma’s
Severance in December 2019, just weeks before COVID-19 emerged in China. If you’re not familiar, the novel surrounds Candance Chen, a young woman who lives and works in New York when Shen Fever strikes. This fictional virus renders people zombie-like, turning them into shells of their past selves. The afflicted are trapped in a loop enacting daily tasks in mindless repetition until they die. There is no cure, and the virus sweeps the globe in a slow-moving apocalypse.
