Non-Fiction Memoir
Dishwasher is Pete Jordan's amusing memoir of his
itinerant dishwashing extravaganza. "For 12 years, I was the
most prolific dishlicker of them all. From 1989 –
2001, I dished my way around the country, unwittingly
searching for direction. From a bagel joint in New Mexico to
a Mexican joint in Brooklyn; from a dinner train in Rhode
Island to the Lawrence Welk Resort in Branson, MO; from an
upper–crust ladies' club to a crusty hippie commune
– I washed the nation's dishes," he explains.
Part adventure, part self–parody, and part
self–discovery, it reveals how he transformed into
"Dishwasher Pete" – the ultimate professional dish
dog, unlikely folk hero, writer, and publisher of his own
cult 'zine – and his struggles to find love,
stability, and yes, the elusive
happy–ever–after.
