The Dishwashers - Panych, Morris

Clean, tight, unmarked; absolute minimal wear; appears unread; Of all our contemporary urban myths none is more absurd than the fiction of the "classless society," Haplessly determined to have his own miserable authority vindicated chief dishwasher Dressler presides over the steam-choked basement of an upscale restaurant. Spouting an indiscriminate cornucopia of working-class ethic, an interminable babble of pride of craft, Marxist rhetoric and the virtues of individual entrepreneurship as celebrated by Ayn Rand, Dressler tyrannizes his co-workers relentlessly. Unfortunately, both the "old hand" and the "new guy" fail utterly to see things his way as they stubbornly and inexplicably pursue both their rejection of and aspiration to join "the folks upstairs."
