Bittersweet is the extraordinary debut of Stephanie Danler, which is destined to become the novel of a generation. “You will develop a taste. The sense of taste is the point on the tongue responsible for memories.
A place where you put words to the flavors and textures of food. Dining becomes a skill, an obsession with language.” This is how we meet Tess, the 22-year-old narrator at the heart of this exciting novel. Shot suddenly like a bullet from a boring, established life, Tess leaves her provincial town because she sees herself in the chosen center of the world. While living alone in a rented room in New York, she got her dream job at a famous restaurant in Union Square. Then she begins to live the chaotic, exhausting, privileged life of an assistant waitress, both at work and in her free time.
