Cubicle-loads of run-of-the-mill office situations have been repackaged into laugh-out-loud entertainment recently — from monkey-as-moneymaker commercials to the caricatures of Dilbert, from The Office to Office Space. This evening's incarnation of Symphony Space's literature-in-performance series spotlights three authors who capture water-cooler politics with cool, refreshing prose. Humorous fictional accounts from the hosanna-heavy trio of T.C. Boyle, Joshua Ferris, and Lydia Davis are brought to life by Stephen Colbert, This American Life contributor David Rakoff, and Daily Show correspondent Aasif Mandvi. With these senior personnel on hand, the nine-to-five barbs expound on the night's theme, "Satire," with all the vigor of an SAT essay.
