Risking it all for a Convenience Store. This is a fascinating story about an editor at the Paris Review who buys a deli in Brooklyn with his wife for their Korean in-laws. He spends his time between working to make the deli a success (and get along with his in-laws) and working in Manhattan at George Plimpton's townhouse for the Review. Interesting inside story into how a deli is run, and all of the interactions with customers, vendors and the community. Much struggle and some hilarity ensue.
I listened to this on audio, read by Bronson Pinchot. Pinchot's reading is fabulously expressive, and he does a dead-on George Plimpton. His narration made all of the characters so endearing and hilarious--even when I got a big impatient with Howe. One of the best audiobooks I've ever listened to, ever.
