SUMMARY OF A WAITER IN PARIS: Adventures In The Dark Heart Of The City

Peachy Summaries

0/5 ( ratings)

PLEASE The book was written by ‘Peachy Summaries' and not the main author “Edward Chisholm”. It was made solely out of administration of the main book as a summary, review, and synopsis for better understanding, not as a replacement or endorsement.

An evocative portrait of the underbelly of contemporary Paris as seen through the eyes of a young waiter scraping out a living in the City of Light.

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.

Language: English

Pages: 12

Format: Kindle Edition

Release: August 17, 2022
