I was wondering if Carmen “Carmy” Berzatto had this book somewhere on the corner, on the bottom of the book stack, on the dusted floor of his apartment or maybe he is not into reading but Carmy is Mauro kinnie. I am sure of it. Half kinnie not a whole kinnie. In his staggering mind, Mauro planted and generously watered the fig tree (spiel in ideology form from The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath), never had a permanent team—he brought himself to the quite, individualism-kitchen-environment—eventually, never left the restaurant. Carmy, same, never left his restaurant, but we can say he’s successful on implementing family discreet work system and like to yell “Yes, Chef!”.
p.s: too many deep lore of my media fixations here.

I love the concept - a sort of extended fictional biography - but I really wish this were longer and more fleshed out. Sumptuous imagery and language in parts.
