Описание и характеристики
The Dinner Party immerses us in the comic and strange realities of modern life, as we journey through the lives of the unlovable, the unloved, and those who love too much: Jack, who nervously tries to befriend the surly removal man by buying him a latte and a croissant; Sarah, who endlessly imagines how her evening would have been better had she only chosen a different restaurant; Joe, who spends a night alone at the office and surreptitiously starts to rearrange his colleagues belongings. These are stories about the infinite possibilities of a persons life, from an agonizingly funny and original writer.

Плюсы
Сами рассказы
Стильная обложка с рисунком а-ля ретро, которая очень приятна на глаз - кремового цвета и на ощупь будто такая же кремовая :)
Довольно плотные страницы, такого же кремоватого оттенка

He reflected in future retrospect on the evening and foretold every gesture, every word. "I cant do it," he said. "I can predict everything that will happen from the moment they arrive to the little kiss on the cheek goodbye and I just cant goddamn do it."

В этой своей незамысловатой, на первый взгляд, речи персонажи раскрываются как нельзя лучше: за ними интересно наблюдать, интересно угадывать их истинные мысли, мотивы и тайные личные переживания. В один момент тебе за героя неловко, в другой - ты уже его понимаешь, в третий - сочувствуешь. Тут есть и юмор, и местами печаль, и необычные повороты событий - словом, книга любопытная.
