'A beautifully expressed, wonderfully crafted object, transcending the idea of ''organization theory book''; this is a playfully serious and provocatively modest encounter with the monstrous we inhabit and the monsters we create with our work and everyday life. It made me laugh with embarrassment and cry with joy by prying open much that we, organizational scholars, often try to hide. Finally, our monstrosity was free to roam in the light of what we claim as knowledge! It felt very liberating.'- Marta B. Calas, University of Massachusetts, US
