Last Night At The Lobster, by Stewart O'Nan



Serious, small, and very sad but wonderfully done book.

It's the last night a Red Lobster franchise is open, and manager Manny wants everything to go right, despite a snowstorm.

This was a heartbreaker of a book. The relatioships between the co-workers were so beautifully expressed, and captured the bizarre-ness of working.

So, so well-done.
