It is as well a rich study of human natureof the outlandish behavior of the human animal under the influence of alcohol of lust and of the sheer desire to bust loose and party. As the typical day progresses Cecchini muses over a life spent in the service industry and the fascinating particulars of his chosen profession. He is by turns witty acute mordant and lyrical in dealing with the realities of his profession shedding plenty of light on the hidden corners of what people do when they go out at night.
