Krysta Ficca Daniel Orozco
The title story in Daniel Orozco’s new collection, “Orientation,” was published 16 years ago. It was quite a short story – told in the second person, the narrator takes a new employee on a generic office tour. “You” is at once a specific character in the story, and the universal “you” in those of us familiar with the monotonous inner workings of a corporate office.
“Orientation” was selected for the “Best American Short Stories of 1995,” guest-edited by Jane Smiley.
