Abstract
-
en_US
Here is another entry in the ongoing series of books using Aesop to say something about business life. The tenor of this volume is suggested by the titles of its first few fables: Shit Flows Downhill, but Not Forever; The Human Resources Guy Who Became Something of a Hipster; and The Media Mogul Who Pissed Off His Limo Driver. Each fable has its own incisive drawing by Steve Brodner. Those illustrations seem to me to follow Charles Bennett: dressed up animals are nicely accented to suggest the ugliness of what is going on. In fact, more of Aesop may surface in those drawings than in the stories themselves. I appreciate the depiction of Bingsop's death in the Translator's Note: an audience of drunken security analysts in Las Vegas attacked him when he did not sufficiently disguise his attacks on them! A Final Note on 219 pays good homage to Aesop. Bing found his fables at first often hard to decipher. But after a while, as I made my way through them, it became clear to me that many of the lessons contained within were extremely germane not so much in everyday life but most certainly in the world of business, where foxes, wolves, lions, bears, and weasels still run free. So they do! The colored dust-jacket cover shows a sleeping Bingsop with Ipad, surrounded by dressed animals.
