Why Everyone Should Wait Tables for Two Weeks
If you're looking for a neatly wrapped answer to the question implied by the title of this book, you may want to look elsewhere. Why Everyone Should Wait Tables for Two Weeks is the sometimes humorous and lighthearted, sometimes bitter tale of one waiter's journey through naivete, smug contempt, humiliation and failure, to an eventual redemption of sorts, wherein he discovers the difference between humiliation and humility.If you've never worked in a restaurant, you may feel downright insulted at points, and if you have worked in a restaurant, there's a good chance you'll find yourself nodding in affirmation and saying "mmm-hmmm" as you read. Either way, this Coffee Break Edition is an entertaining and provocative read, intended as an invitation to share your own story at:WhyEveryoneShouldWaitTablesForTwoWeeks.com
John Craxton
Uplifting and engaging, this story recounts the life and career of a rebellious 20th-century British artist Born into a large, musical, and bohemian family in London, the British artist John Craxton (1922–2009) has been described as a Neo-Romantic, but he called himself a “kind of Arcadian”. His early art was influenced by Blake, Palmer, Miró, and Picasso. After achieving a dream of moving to Greece, his work evolved as a personal response to Byzantine mosaics, El Greco, and the art of Greek life. This book tells his adventurous story for the first time. At turns exciting, funny, and poignant, the saga is enlivened by Craxton’s ebullient pictures. Ian Collins expands our understanding of the artist greatly—including an in-depth exploration of the storied, complicated friendship between Craxton and Lucian Freud, drawing on letters and memories that Craxton wanted to remain private until after his death.
