A waiter's job is to deceive you. They want you to believe in a luxurious calm because on the other side of that door . . . is hell. Edward Chisholm's spellbinding memoir of his time as a Parisian waiter takes you beneath the surface of one of the most iconic cities in the world--and right into its glorious underbelly. He inhabits a world of inhuman hours, snatched sleep and dive bars; scraping by on coffee, bread and cigarettes, often under sadistic managers, with a wage so low you're fighting your colleagues for tips. Your colleagues--including thieves, narcissists, ex-soldiers, immigrants, wannabe actors, and drug dealers--are the closest thing to family that you've got. It's physically demanding, frequently humiliating and incredibly competitive. But it doesn't matter because you're in Paris, the center of the universe, and there's nowhere else you'd rather be in the world"--   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Business, Science & Technology 642.6092 Chisholm Ch Transit Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 642.6092 Chisholm Ch Checked In Add Copy to MyList Liliha Public Library Adult Nonfiction 642.6092 Chisholm Ch Checked In Add Copy to MyList McCully-Moiliili Public Library Adult Biography B Chisholm Ch Checked In Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Nonfiction 642.6092 Chisholm Ch Checked In Add Copy to MyList Pahoa P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 642.6092 Ch Checked In Add Copy to MyList Salt Lake-Moanalua Public Library Adult Nonfiction 642.6092 Chisholm Ch Checked In Add Copy to MyList Wailuku Public Library Adult Nonfiction 642.6092 Chisholm Ch Checked In Add Copy to MyList
