- Summary
- âI laughed more times than I can count . . . A phenomenal debut novel by one of my favorite writers.â âCLINT SMITH âNails down the hypocrisies of modern masculinity and capitalism with the graceful hand of poet.â âALEXANDRA KLEEMAN âPurkertâs writing is a gift and it shines through these pages.â âHANIF ABDURRAQIB    A knockout debut novel that tackles a haunting question: What do our jobs do to our souls?       Seth is a junior copywriter whose latest tagline just went viral. Heâs the agencyâs hottest new star, or at least he wants his coworker crush to think so. But while heâs busy drooling over his future corner office, the walls crumble around him.    When his job lets him go, he canât let go of his job. Thankfully, one former colleague canât let him go either: Robert âMoonâ McCloone, a skeezy on-the-rise exec better suited to a frat house than a boardroom. Seth tries to forget Moon and rediscover his spiritual self; he studies Kabbalah with an Orthodox rabbi by day while popping illegal prescription pills by night. But with each misstep, Seth strays farther from salvationâthough he might get there, if he could only get out of his own way.      In his debut novel, Purkert incisively peels back the layers of the male ego, revealing whatâs rotten and what might be redeemed. Brimming with wit, irreverence, and soul-searching, The Men Canât Be Saved  is a startlingly original examination of work, sex, addiction, religion, branding, and ourselves.
