Last Night at the Lobster, by Steward O’Nan
By Peter on Feb 1, 2008 in Fiction Books
Last Night at the Lobster is an interesting and enjoyable book written
in a quiet mood about life and love in the working world. A tale about ordinary life, with ordinary, real people in it.
The story is about Manny De Leon, manager of a Red Lobster restaurant in a dismal section of Connecticut. The franchise is about to be shut down. The jobs of the employees are at stake, with potential implications for relationships and other parts of their lifes as well.
It is a tale of what binds a group of people together and makes them work alongside one another and cope with the ordinary challenges of life, small and big. Last Night at the Lobster is a wonderful little story, written by one of the most talented American novelists, and highly recommended.
