Fiction Book Group

The group discusses "Last Night at the Lobster" by Stewart O'Nan.

About "Last Night at the Lobster":

Perched in the far corner of a run-down New England mall, the Red Lobster hasn't been making its numbers and headquarters has pulled the plug. But manager Manny DeLeon still needs to navigate a tricky last shift--just four days before Christmas and in the midst of a fierce blizzard--with a near-mutinous staff and the final onslaught of hungry retirees, lunatics, and holiday office parties. All the while, he's wondering how to handle the waitress he's still in love with, his pregnant girlfriend, and where to find the present that will make everything better. 

Stewart O'Nan has been called "the bard of the working class," and "Last Night at the Lobster: is a poignant yet redemptive look at what a man does when he discovers that his best might not be good enough.
