Reviews
Praise for The Dishwasher "Vivid and moving." --The New York Times Book Review "Carries you away like a speeding taxi in the harsh, dazzling Montreal night." --Catherine Leroux, Giller-shortlisted author of The Party Wall and Madame Victoria "Utterly absorbing...[an] engrossing look at addiction, city life, music, and work." --Book Riot "A compelling coming-of-age novel told at the speed of thrash metal: an unlikely and masterful combination of inventive literary autofiction and an irresistible page-turner...The Dishwasher is a gripping tale of unlikely friendships, a romp through the underworld of late-night Montreal, and a blazing thrash metal ode to the heart of every restaurant, the humble dish pit." --Montreal Review of Books "A Québécois bestseller thankfully arrives for English readers. One can see how this bleak bildungsroman attracted so much attention in Canada...[The Dishwasher] reads like a cross between the dearly departed Anthony Bourdain and Stephanie Danler's Sweetbitter, combining the complicated life of a kitchen wretch with a highly literate voice...hypnotizing." --Kirkus Reviews "Quickly adopted by the kitchen-culture crowd before crossing over to mainstream bestseller lists...There's no reason to think English Canada won't soon follow suit with Pablo Strauss's compulsively readable translation...Larue's eye is so keen, his grip on his milieu so sure." --Montreal Gazette "In The Dishwasher, Stéphane Larue invests in plot and character. Chapters are paced like restaurant work: there are quiet lulls for you to catch your breath and torrid rushes where nothing stops moving, the type of chaos where the only way to stay on your feet is to wildly tumble forward...Pablo Strauss' translation creates a narrator and a world of energy and exhaustion....masterful." --Asymptote "Captivating...consistently propulsive and acutely perceptive." --Hamilton Review of Books "Larue recounts his story in an energetic style that will keep the reader emotionally vested in the life of The Dishwasher." --CBC Montreal "An immersive look at the restaurant world make[s] for a gripping read in The Dishwasher...[a] gripping take on a damaged young man finding his place in a particular subculture, and the precise details make for a work that sits comfortably beside works by Anthony Bourdain and George Orwell." --Words Without Borders "Highly satisfying and original...utterly propulsive, its effects mesmerizing."--Literary Review of Canada "A perfectly crafted story...the narrator's conquest of his gambling addiction ebbs and flows, marked by success and failure, hope and defeat...The Dishwasher is a thoughtful examination of a young man at the end of his options--a humanizing, emotive, and entertaining tale of personal growth." --Foreword Reviews "The turbulent, immersive narration is an experience on its own. The result is often breathtaking: five hundred feverish pages that take us to a place somewhere between Dostoyevsky's The Gambler and Anthony Bourdain's KItchen Confidential.... Poignant and magnificent." --Le Devoir (Montreal) "Feverish writing, Montreal streets and characters magnificently described, mind-bending descriptions of what happens behind the scenes at restaurants--you'll never see them in the same way once you've finished the book--a story that is both a dark tale and an existential suspense story, it all combines to make the book unputdownable.... It may be over 500 pages long, but so moving is the story that once you've started it, you feel the irresistible desire to devour it in a single sitting." --Le Soleil (Quebec City), Praise for The Dishwasher "The turbulent, immersive narration is an experience on its own. The result is often breathtaking: five hundred feverish pages that take us to a place somewhere between Dostoyevsky's The Gambler and Anthony Bourdain's KItchen Confidential.... Poignant and magnificent." --Le Devoir (Montreal) "Feverish writing, Montreal streets and characters magnificently described, mind-bending descriptions of what happens behind the scenes at restaurants--you'll never see them in the same way once you've finished the book--a story that is both a dark tale and an existential suspense story, it all combines to make the book unputdownable.... It may be over 500 pages long, but so moving is the story that once you've started it, you feel the irresistible desire to devour it in a single sitting." -Le Soleil (Quebec City)
