Pittsburgh native Stewart O'Nan is a masterful storyteller. His first book was a collection of short stories published by the University of Pittsburgh Press. This week's selection on Rick's Reading List is one of his novels called "Last Night at the Lobster." In it, O'Nan observes a day in the life of a Red Lobster manager named Manny as he goes through his final day of running a suburban location of the food chain. It looks at the relationships between co-workers and how the finality of a business closing can cause all of us to look back and re-evaluate the things that have happened in our lives and with multiple relationships.
