They want you to believe in a luxurious calm because on the other side of that door . . . is hell.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEdward Chisholm's spellbinding memoir of his time as a Parisian waiter takes you beneath the surface of one of the most iconic cities in the world—and right into its glorious underbelly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHe inhabits a world of inhuman hours, snatched sleep and dive bars; scraping by on coffee, bread and cigarettes, often under sadistic managers, with a wage so low you're fighting your colleagues for tips.
