After closing time, what do the servers dream? How can our jobs define us with one hand, while degrading us with the other? And what is special about those moments when life catches us off guard in our privacy, only to leave us more lost than before? Drawing on the experiences of work in the deep south, The Rest is a compilation over a decade in the making. From the graveyard shift of the wildest Atlanta restaurants to the tame Jewish deli of Toco Hills, Daniel draws what conclusions may be drawn and leaves the rest to the reader.
