Krátky popis
***'This astonishing book describes a cruel, feral existence and is
worthy of standing on the shelf next to George Orwell's Down And
Out In Paris And London (1933) as another classic about human
exploitation.' - Daily Mail'Chisholm's story is immersive and often
thrilling ... He's a fine writer.' - WSJ'Kitchen Confidential for
Generation Z' - Fortune'An English waiters riveting account of
working in Paris' - Daily Mail'Visceral and unbelievably
compelling' - Emerald Fennell'Vividly written and merciless in its
detail' - Edward Stourton'An excellent book' - Strong Words
magazine'A Dickensian tale of a young man's trial by fire in a
French bistro gives rise to biting commentary on Parisian culture
in Chisholm's intoxicating debut' - Publisher's Weekly'Ah, Paris...
gastronomie magnifique and...insane shit going on behind the
scenes. A Waiter in Paris charts Edward Chisholm's jaw-dropping
experiences while serving tables in the French capital, a
demi-monde of sadistic managers, thieves, fighting for tips and
drug dealers. Seems like not much has changedsince George Orwell
worked the same beat.' - Evening StandardA 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 is the perfect
summer read. It takes you below 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. Colleagues - including thieves, narcissists,
ex-Legionnaires, paperless immigrants, wannabe actors and drug
dealers - who 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
centre of the universe, and there's nowhere else you'd rather be in
the world.
