"Last Night at the Lobster" a novel by Stewart O'Nan
Only 4 shopping days to Christmas, stressful time for shoppers, but it should be a regular time for business at the "Lobster", if not busy. Christmas should be a time to look forward to with pleasure, however, that is far from Manny DeLeon's mind these days. Manny, manager of the Red Lobster, is faced with the fact that corporate headquarters is closing this Lobster down. Manny's staff is ready to mutiny, but they still are expected to man their shifts on this the last day being open....
But will Manny and his staff be able to get through this last day?
Snow, unscheduled tourists, a party, and all the normal regulars show up and add to the stress of this last day.......
Read this book just as the economy was starting to tank back in early 2009 - therefore this was a timely story to read.......
