"Sey forth thy tale, and tarie nat the tyme." Chaucer, Reeve's Prologue, l. 51. In this ambitious long poem, Alice Major exemplifies the redemptive force of story. Through the light-hearted interplay of such literary touchstones as Chaucer, The Thousand and One Nights, and Greek myth, readers meet receptionist Aphrodite, Sheherazad in PR, and Pandora, expectant grandmother from accounting, who gather to share tales during coffee breaks from their male-dominated engineering firm. If you desire to 'tarry the time' a while, you will feel redeemed by your pilgrimage through the pages of THE OFFICE TOWER TALES.
