Here is the book synopsis of "The Room"(film titled "Corner Office") by Jonas Karlsson:
Bjorn is a meticulous bureaucrat who prides himself on order and routine. One day, he discovers something extraordinary inside the government office where he works: a hidden room that no one else seems willing—or able—to acknowledge. Whenever Bjorn retreats into this private space, his coworkers see something entirely different: Bjorn simply standing against a wall, staring blankly ahead, calm yet strangely unnerving.
As his odd behavior begins to worry the people around him, his colleagues start plotting to have him removed from the office. But Bjorn has a quiet advantage—the mysterious room itself—and with its help, he may end up turning the situation completely around.
In this sharp and imaginative debut, Jonas Karlsson crafts a strange, delightful story about individuality, conformity, and the lengths someone might go to carve out a life that truly feels their own.
