Up in the Air
of Walter Kirn
Description
Ryan Binghamâs job as a Career Transition Counselorâhe fires peopleâhas kept him airborne for years. Although he has come to despise his line of work, he has come to love the culture of what he calls âAirworld,â finding contentment within pressurized cabins, anonymous hotel rooms, and a wardrobe of wrinkle-free slacks. With a letter of resignation sitting on his bossâs desk, and the hope of a job with a mysterious consulting firm, Ryan Bingham is agonizingly close to his ultimate goal, his Holy Grail: one million frequent flier miles. But before he achieves this long-desired freedom, conditions begin to deteriorate. With perception, wit, and wisdom, Up in the Air combines brilliant social observation with an acute sense of the psychic costs of our rootless existence, and confirms Walter Kirn as one of the most savvy chroniclers of American life.
