    Josh Ferris, who won a huge audience with his hilarious office novel,

    Then We Came to the End, has done an about-face — he's left the office. The hero of his new novel,

    The Unnamed (Little, Brown), has left the office, too. He's the victim of an "unnamed" disease that compels him to walk until he reaches exhaustion.
