Sinopsi

Peter Leroy constructs a plausible adult life for his grade school chum Matthew Barber, now living in Boston, where he is vice-president of a toy company by day, but becomes Bertram W. Beath, restaurant reviewer, when the sun goes down.Reservations Recommended is a satire of the critical mind, a dark commentary on contemporary culture, a story of midlife crisis, a morality play, and a book that matches bleakness against humor, seasoned throughout with B. W. Beath?s hilariously acid reviews. We watch as Matthew Barber descends from a self-protective superiority into a species of madness, and into the dark night of the soul. 'A brilliant satire.'LA Life'A merciless sendup of contemporary American pretensions.?Janice Harayda, Cleveland Plain Dealer'Wonderfully readable . . . touching and intelligent.'Richard Gehr, The Village Voice
