About the Book
Newly arrived in New York City, twenty-two-year-old Tess lands a job
working front of house at a celebrated downtown restaurant. What follows
is her education: in champagne and cocaine, love and lust, dive bars
and fine dining rooms, as she learns to navigate the chaotic,
enchanting, punishing life she has chosen. The story of a young woman’s
coming-of-age, set against the glitzy, grimy backdrop of New York’s most
elite restaurants, in Sweetbitter Stephanie Danler deftly
conjures the nonstop and high-adrenaline world of the food industry and
evokes the infinite possibilities, the unbearable beauty, and the
fragility and brutality of being young and adrift.
